Nice config. Snort though, why?

Cause it's my IDS/IPS and i am blocking several Ports/Protocols/Apps with it, like Torrent, Tor, etc.


@Forsaked:
  • Set UAC to Always Notify.
  • Overkill in browsers add-ons
Please kindly reflect Your changes editing Your config, and announcing them here, thanks for sharing :)

I will try UAC on max.
The browser add-ons are not overkill for me, cause have fun config things.
Since i am a person who whitlists not blackslists, it takes time to get this config right, but when it's done it's awesome.
Don't ask me how much time i have spend on the whitelists for Snort and pfBlockerNG in pfSense.
