Firewall_Bypasses

  • Firewall_Bypass

    Bypasses a Firewall security system instantly and completely. All Bypasses
    require the HUD_ConnectionAnalysis upgrade.
    Versions: 5
    Prices: 3,000c // 4,000c // 6,000c // 8,000c // 10,000c
    Version differences:
    v1.0 -- Bypasses a Level 1 Firewall
    v2.0 -- Bypasses a Level 2 or lower Firewall
    v3.0 -- Bypasses a Level 3 or lower Firewall
    v4.0 -- Bypasses a Level 4 or lower Firewall
    v5.0 -- Bypasses a Level 5 or lower Firewall

    Notes: You should get this as soon as you've bought ConnectionAnalysis. You can manage with a Proxy_Disabler (as you have probably had need for one even before). I've never bought a Firewall_Disabler in all my lives. Since this is a (relatively) cheap tool, you should get the v5.0 first and not bother with the others.
