Joikuspot Premium is blocked by F-Security firewall

snowytop

My Nokia E71 phone has F-Secure 6.60 running with "Normal" firewall setting.  Joikuspot Premium 3.10 can't make an internet connection unless I open the firewall and set it to "Allow all".

 

Is there a customised setting I can vreate to overcome this?

Thanks

Hi Snowytop,

 

The problem is that we do not see a SYN packet that comes to the device, because JoikuSpot is hooking and forwarding the packet before F-Secure Mobile Security firewall. To change the hooking so that we would see the first packet is not enough because the connections for JoikuSpot are formed from the outside. In addition, when the Wifi device(e.g. a laptop) is connected to JoikuSpot, it could be using any port/service for the communication, hence for the time being the easiest solution is to put the firewall to allow all -mode when starting JoikuSpot.

By the way, there is already version 7 available of our Mobile Security. You can find the installers from:
