I have just upgraded SQLyog from version 4-something to 5.02. I connected to a database that was running on localhost and started working on it, and ZoneAlarm reported that it tried to access these IP addresses (besides localhost):
81.52.202.30
69.225.175.99
What's up with that?
I did not allow access and everything worked fine.
I just blocked access to everything but localhost with my Norton firewall. SQLyog starts and runs fine. Firewall does not report any attempt to connect to a remote host.
We have had so many issues with that (crap) Zonealarm! Sometimes it even blocks TCP-connections to localhost even it claims to be disabled. I believe that this program has issues with TCP on 'localhost'.
Thanks, maybe I should switch to Norton, then. I've had other problems with ZoneAlarm, which were pretty annoying, but it never seemed to make false reports about programs accessing IP destinations.
And just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get me 🙂
I have been using ZA myself, and it worked fine as long as i did not run server programs. There are lots of others. But as you just blocked it that should be fine too! ZA has blocked something that will never occur … does no harm!
