Comodo and K9 Web Protection (Parental Control)

HI,

I just readed the user manual of the last release 4.0 of K9 Web Protection (Parental control) and found the following information :
“Better Support for Personal Firewalls and Internet Security Products
K9 Web Protection testing confirms compatibility with the following third-party
personal firewall and internet security products:
❐ Personal firewalls: Comodo”

Is Comodo aware of it ? … Are the 2 products now compatible or are going to become compatible soon ?

Thanks.

What version number of Comodo Firewall do they mention?

#3

Hi All,

They mention this in the User Manual, I’ll ask Egemen what he knows about this.

#4

They don’t mentionned a Comodo version nr.
Some news from Egemen ?
Cheers

Yep,

I heard from him, he doesn’t know it’s compatible all of a sudden so apparently they have not been in contact with him, and if someone should know this, i guess it’s him :slight_smile:

I’ll see if i can rig up a test environment and see what happens…

Hello Pieteke,

I did a so called Quick and Dirty test with the installation of K9 4.0.288 installed before i installed CIS 3.10.x531, CIS complained about K9 being installed and i chose to continue the installation of CIS.

It seems to work, Firewall does alert for outbound and inbound traffic, it blocks if i ask it to block…

Be aware that this is not a QA test and that there still could be issues with K9 and CIS !
At least i did not run in to a BSOD/Crash of windows while testing and scanning the system.
So i’d say “use at your own risk” could apply here.

Regards,
Ronny
