Hello All, I was looking at IP cop pdf, and see that it is intended to be on all the time unless there is a power failure and then is set to reboot when the power comes on. Is there any point in say, trying it out for a day and seeing what attacks on the network are reaching the red zone? I do not want to have any of my computers permanently running 24 hours a day because electricity is expensive.
Do I need a firewall like IP cop between my desk top computer and the Internet when I usually shut my computer down right after I use it, and rarely have my computer on for more than four hours at a time? Indeed, most of the time I have my computer on for an hour or less a day. I am connected to the net through a four port router to an adsl modem. Again, do I really need to use a firewall like IP cop, and is there any point in trying it out? If any of you think it would be well worth while to try out IP Cop, I would take my firewall, a key board, and my firewall monitor to an install fest, (and the IP Cop CD of course). However I would need a ride, and I would like to follow the instructions myself at my own pace so that I understand them. When I watched the installation of IP Cop a couple of times at a couple of other install fests the process went by too fast for me to absorb.
