ATGuard is extremely old now, so you can expect that a newer OS will
probably break something. No idea how to fix it. I doubt it can be
done. Why not use or try something like Kerio 2.1.5 instead?

Yes, that and it's ability to block ads and cookies. I really don't
see anything in the newer firewalls that is any better than AtGuard.
And why do I have to "subscribe" to a firewall? That's kind of like
subscribing to my car.

I don't think so. Have you tested my POC on @guard?

Because, people are writing, that @guard hooks the TDI, it will not be
able to control any outbound traffic, if this is true.
