[QUOTE="AtlBo, post: 987546, member: 32547"] I think by url-protection they mean that the program has a web filter, and as far as I know it is a very good web filter. It is a little bit tricky to set up, but it is very good. I still use UBlock Origin on top of FC's web filter, but FC's filter definitely was highly regarded last I checked. That said I can't tell how well it works because Firefox blocks malicious sites before FC sees them these days (just now tested). The settings .config enables the use of the most aggressive signatures and then also bumps up the enforcement of their use. In this way, both detection and enforcement (quarantine) are made stronger. I haven't run into much in the way of FPs, so I would say using F-C with the hardened settings has been a great experience for me over the last 4-5 years. I am grateful that Fortinet have kept updating the signatures of their previous client software this way. BTW, it is necessary to enter the settings menu to import the .config file into the program. To do this, you will first need to click on the "Unlock Settings" button on the bottom left of the menu. The settings are straight .html, by the way. You can look them over with an .html editor and then edit them too if you like. I am interested to see if you are able to migrate successfully. Again, I really like F-C, at least for now... UPDATE: I see the web filter is working fine. In the Notifications I see the blocks, which are there even though Firefox blocked the porn site I to which I pretended to visit. [/QUOTE]
