Hello
I have just migrated from Smoothwall Express to m0n0wall and I have an
urgent question for you.  The firewall is up and running over an hour now
but until a few minutes ago there were no entries in the firewall log, as
though it was blocking nothing.  I have Kerio as a software firewall on my
Windows XP client and it was blocking traffic from the outside for nearly an
hour!  And just now I see five entries in my firewall log on m0n0wall yet I
have changed nothing!  Should this be happening?  It's as though the
firewall took an hour to wake up, and but for the fact I had Kerio running
as well I would have been left totally exposed.
Smoothwall seemed to record frequent attacks.  Is it just that m0n0wall
doesn't log all types of attack, or am I missing something altogether?
Any help much appreciated.
Thank you,
Gerard.
