Jetico firewall help

I installed the Jetico firewall. Now when I use Firefox to browse the
web, at every page I visit I have to confirm with the Jetico firewall
that "Firefox is permanently allowed to access the IP address
xx.xx.xx.xx...". This is crazy. I find myself doing a WHOIS on each IP
address, to see what I'm granting permission for. Is there a way to
grant Firefox always permission to access web pages?

By the way, I found out that Google is monitoring all sites I visit.
Interesting. Must be the Google toolbar I installed. Maybe I should
uninstall it.

If you decide to install such crap you have to live with such effects.

Why is Jetico crap? Is there no way to set it up so that it does not
request permission for each site you visit?

Re: Jetico firewall help

It is very easy to do: in specific rule for a web browser you should remove
destination address. Also, there is a special template for a webbrouwser in
Jetico. You can use this template as default rule for the Firefox. Please,
visit Jetico at
http://www.smokey-services.eu/forum/index.php
People there are very friendly and will answer (using screen shots) all
your questions about Jetico.

You told me a few days ago that you would have no problem trying to
configure a firewall. So do it. Thousands, maybe millions are running
Jetico with no problem. By the way, it is not crap. It is one of the 2
or 3 best walls in terms of leaktests. Any of these programs (commercial
firewalls) are not enough in and of themselves. Use them in concert with
a firewire or some type of packet sniffer.

I actually find myself agreeing with this to a certain extent. They are
blown out of importance.

How does Comodo compare with Jetico?
