Is it my firewall, or a regularly visited website ?

    Hi,
    Im wondering what is up with my Firewall. Im on Kerio 2 which Im aware isnt supported anymore, but it seems folks are still using this Firewall, and many still sware by it.

    The problem is a certain website I have visited regularly for a good while (which by its nature should be very safe) crashes my firewall. (closes it down) This has been an intermitent problem, of late, but one which concerns me greatly. I really dont want to but should I ditch this site?

    I guess what Im trying to say is Would this be done on purpose (with their knowledge), or could someone else do this through their website without them knowing or what? Maybe its time I gave this firewall the flick. Im not having any problems anywhere else.

    I would greatly appreciate anyones thoughts on this.
    Thanks EGFX

    Hi again,

    - popups, not that Im aware,
    - havnt seen anything about them being hacked
    - theyre not a gaming site
    - not sure what you mean by "scripts running"
    - Ive posted on and off with excellent help when I have, and people are genuinely helped and help on the whole. It would have to be one of the better sites in my view. There seems to be no flaming etc. (at least in the subforums I visit), and people generally treat everyone else with respect. I would trust the administrators as much as anyone could trust them in an internet situation coupled with my former comments.

    I view this as serious. A firewall SHOULD NOT be shut down by a website.

    Any more suggestions on what I should do about this? Has anyone else had this problem with their firewall?
