I have seen webknight used to protect our server and we switched it off after it caused some wanted traffic to be denied. There was no difference for us if it was on or not – I guess we didn’t need it. Neverthless it looks like a very good program, but difficult to configure.

Hi George

If I understood correctly, you installed WEBKNIGHT on Windows Server 64bit with IIS? Is correct?

I have been trying to find more/substantial documentation, as it is not working for me on Windows Server with IIS.

Any info you can provide would be greatly appriciated.

Thank you

WebKnight does a very good job on my web site (IIS6/x64). It has loads of config options. So if you do not check carefully you are likely to lock out to many users. However, if you configure it properly it is really great!

@michael

I’m affraid this is not the first complaint I get about Webknight even though I’m not it’s author . As this tool is deployed on webservers, you will have to contact the city’s IT staff and report the malfunction.

I absolutely hate webknight! For no reason at all it has blocked me, and some of my friends from visiting Games Workshops various homepages. When I try to make contact to enquire why I`ve been blocked the only thing that happens is that some lame game pops up. This is very frustrating because Games Workshop products is my and my friends hobby, and we (used to) buy their products online. It´s a very poor service that blocks customers from visiting and shopping. You could at least make it simpler to notify you when your programs cause problems.
