Can I unstealth Kerio 2.1.5?

I don't want to get into a debate on the relative merits of "stealth," I just
want to know if it is possible to turn it off and have Kerio 2.1.5 return a
normal closed port response instead of dropping packets. If not, are there any
current personal firewalls that don't drop packets, or make it optional?

You don't have any choice in Kerio, however I believe it's an option in
Sygate 5.5. Or is it Outpost? Sorry, I'm not sure which, but I know
that one of those two let's you choose how the firewall responds, closed
or stealth. You may have to try both and see...

I don't know how to do it (if it can be done) in Kerio ... though I use
it. However, ZoneAlarm returns a closed status when Internet Security is
set to Medium instead of High.

Sygate v5.5 Pro (under Tools/Options/Security) has the selectable
option "Enable Stealth Mode Browsing". Don't remember if the
free version has it or not. ( some functions are grayed out in it)

Yes, it is optional in Outlook 2.1 Pro.

Ok.. I believe it was optional in the free Outpost as well then..
