FirewallTweak Released

Posted by Kelvin in Everything

Once again, this is going to be an IT-related post, ladies, please forgive me if it reads like Greek, okay? Sorry! (yes, lafina darling, that includes you. i know you hate codes and stuff :) )

Okay. So RP's IT crew decided to ignore the slightly more proficient and decided to take things in their own hands – by enabling automatic updates, and forcing firewall. Let me tell you, its NOT going to help sovle RavMonE.exe or any other "thumbdrive viruses". ActiveX BHO plugins hook on Internet Explorer… Sooo. If you wanna block Internet Explorer… Mmmh :)

Now, let me, a slightly more advanced user, list down the implications of what you've just done:

  1. 1.  Crashed everyone who was using a decent firewall, since that firewall tries to disable Windows Firewall, but it wouldn't bulge. Here comes exception errors, and et, viola. Crash.
  2. 2.  Made life difficult for around 10% of the males in RP, who probably wants to play their games on something you have a "chim" name for, but we just call "Ad-Hoc" Wireless Gaming. Why? Windows Firewall doesn't like Ad-Hoc, nor games.
  3. 3.  Forced, (is this the correct word?) upon our laptops, OUR laptops, which WE paid MONEY for, fixes. Can't you at least ASK first? Please. Respect us users/students!

Fine. I rest my case. But I present to you, gamers, technological elites, and everyone else who needs it to play MapleStory or maybe connect to something… FirewallTweak! – written by ME, Kelvin!

This tool disables the Windows Firewall & ICS service – that means that you'll NOT be able to see if the firewall is stopped or not through the panel. But its stopped! ;)

Edit #1: Hmm. Learning objective for the day! -
Hey man.. y need a program. just get the people to go disable the sevice in the control panel–>administrator tools–> services–> then the Firewall service. it just disables the firwall service. AW COME ON… a bit of a teaching would do good la. - nameless dude

    Agreed. Though they have their own reasons for doing that :) But still must respect us!

    Well, if they wanted to solve the problem, no need to go this far right? Oh well, at least we have a tweak now.

    Thanks Kelvin.. I need to ask u something.. Could u add me in msn?

    Something lik, how does ur firewalltweak works and can i really play online games such as maplestory(as stated in ur post) in sch wif VPN?

    Thanks.. Great job..:wink:

    John, yea. Added you. You just haven’t added me.

    FirewallTweak works by that above comment made by “nameless dude”. Basically, disable firewall service. It’s legal cos it doesnt mess with the network, just with your computer.

    It just disables what OIS enabled yesterday. Lol. That’s all.

    However, if you don’t use it, there will be problems connecting to games like Maplestory even from home for SOME people.

    emo: IRC? hmmm. I could start a proxy service, but.. That would depend on contributors, financially. It is really not possible to support that without cash. But the fee will be around 5$ a month or so only :P soooo.. LOL.

    I tink its a cool idea abt the proxy service. it aso enables us to use lancraft in sch rite.. well.. probably the sch itself will be its oni enemy… and its really cheap.. really.. i can even get a buncha ppl to support the idea. so if ur cool wif the idea, we can contact each other and start on it right away! :wink: :smile: :grin:
