Firewall.cx Offline For The Past 40 Hours!
We have just corrected a major problem that kept our site offline for at least 40 hours.
Unfortunately the problem occurred while most of us were on holidays and away from our computers, making it impossible to detect and repair.
We also found one of our services - Webmail - being abused by a few users, who attempted to send out more than 412,000 spam emails, so we have placed a permanent ban on their whole network, deleted their accounts and disabled the webmail service until further notice.

New Protection Modules For Firewall.cx !
We would like to inform our visitors that due to quite a few havesters and wannabe hackers, we have been forced to enable our auto-protection module which will automatically ban for one day any web browser with 'site copy' type software installed.
All IP Addresses banned will be reported to their ISP's as a breach of our copyright protection.
If you would like to express your opinion or complain, please visit the appropriate forum.
Thank you
