Maybe I'm not clear enough I have said, I don't know, ten times at least, that MLO on running doesn't try to connect to the network, so there's no prompt for asking access through the firewall. Yet I give it access manually. There is not a single bit of information MLO is sending to the local network adapter. Maybe is my that English is not my first language and I write things that nobody else understand.
So it only works on local networks, that by MLO definition is the same segment. So it won't work on most corporate environments. Good work!!!! Andrey, Is it possible to get a refund? I swear I'll never look back into your marvelous product and disturb your happy community of uber happy customers that have never had a problem with your wonderful product.
