Re: Sandboxed FireFox can't save on EncFS drive

I got an answer from EncFSMP dev. Hi I assume the problem lies with PFM, the file system component of EncFSMP. The mounted folder does not exactly behave like a local drive, maybe this is the reason of the error. I suggest not to use a EncFSMP mounted drive directly from SandboxIE. In the next versi...

Sandboxed FireFox can't save on EncFS drive[SOLVED]

hey guys. I have FireFox running over Sandboxie. Recently I replaced my Dropbox encryption solution from BoxCryptor to EncFSMP. I had no problem with FireFox saving files inside BoxCryptor's drive. Sandboxie reported the save attempt and I ordered to move from sandbox folder to that drive. Now with ...

Re: Firefox Tab issue - No Text displayed in Tabs (Win10)

wow tnx!!

I was having this issue and didn't know it was caused by Sandboxie. I did the browser.display.use_system_colors trick and seems to be working now.

Civilization 5

I'm gonna start trying to sandbox some steam games. I know they have a history of issues, but still I'll try before giving up. The main reason for it is that I've been seeing that each game saves its files in different places, and I'm afraid of losing gap of where these saves are going and end up de...

Re: With Sandboxie why even bother with Windows Updates ?

router/gateway isn't a good firewall for ages. In the past. But being behind a NAT does no good for outgoing connections. Any keylogger will still be able to connect to its server and send your data. Also, with uPNP, I fear some unwanted servers being able to ask NAT server to redirect ports to it. ...

Re: With Sandboxie why even bother with Windows Updates ?

Yes, but I'm lazy. It's already been 2 weeks since last restore, I have a few apps installed and a few I regreted installing. b4a isn't making backups as scheduled, I'm having to do it manually. And their support replied me saying it wasn't designed to backup apps configs... I'm using it because I b...

Re: A really secure file encryption solution

I was reading Cryptomator's support forum and found ppl talking about other solutions! There's eCryptFS, GoCryptFS, and my chosen one EncFS! Surprisingly, BoxCryptor was all this time using EncFS as its backend! They took a FOSS and stripped its features (encrypt file names) and released as their ow...

Re: A really secure file encryption solution

Thanks for the tip. AxCrypt is a bit close to what I look, but it's too manual and troubling that makes it not worth the trouble. I'd need to encrypt each file separately... and when decrypting what it does (seems to do) is just decrypt the file, execute it and keep track of changes to encrypt back....

Re: With Sandboxie why even bother with Windows Updates ?

Yes it took some time to read and choose what to use. My last Windows was very trashed and unstable, I had no backup of it and didn't even remember anymore how to install and setup stuff. Then I had to restore a backup, and the last one was from 2014... I had to make things easier and automatic, can...

A really secure file encryption solution

I, as many others, used TrueCrypt. It's not a good solution anymore because all encrypted files are stored in a single volume file. The problem is that, when creating the volume, we must already define its size. While few storage is being used on it, a lot is wasted on main HD. And when we fill the ...

Re: With Sandboxie why even bother with Windows Updates ?

I also have a server with low energy hardware (where I mainly do downloads and stuff) with BIND installed. My main PC, laptop, phone, etc use it as nameserver, then I use it to block domains with malwhere, adware, etc. BIND is also configured to forward to OpenDNS, which also do some blocks. OpenDNS...

Re: With Sandboxie why even bother with Windows Updates ?

lol it's just a couple softwares: Comodo, WinPatrol, Sanboxie and Acronis. If you're interested, it's easier to read features of Comodo CIS and WinPatrol. Acronis does normal partition backup and restore. I don't use any anti-spy, it's been ages that I don't see myself and don't hear about them. I d...

Re: run same program more than once with different Sandbox

Yes, it's better to ask forum for specific apps.

Some like FireFox, Pidgin and Skype are easy to run multiple instances and even separated profiles, others may make measures to not let that happen. In that case, SB may help, or u may need to yell on its dev to stop using those measures.

Re: For my needs, do I need sandbox or Virtual OS?

If it's just for banking, I suppose you don't use it all the time, so a VM can solve it. For basic OS and a few apps you may need just 20GB or even fewer. Banking software, as much as they say is meant to protect, are really an annoyance. But still they try to verify the security of the system. If y...
