Quick, What's the best firewall software to use???

[KhoiFather]

I don't have a router and I like to know which one would be the best to use. Norton or McAfee Personal Firewall ?

zone alarm started slowing down my computer too much, and a friends. i now use sygate. its OK. nothing to write home about. bump for better options...

Kerio is better then ZA free version IMO

PacketFilter.

sygate. Zone alarm is a bitch to import Peer guardian ip ranges.

Sygate isn't free though. I'll give Kerio a try.

a common router doesn't let you configure rules for outgoing traffic

 

[SherEPunjab]

i think sygate has a personal firewall.

Like Zone Labs, Sygate likes to hide their free goods, but scroll down to the bottom of this page and you get this :beer:

ZA Free is good too. Kerio 2.1.5 is even better, but not worked on anymore Newer Kerio isn't as good as Sygate or ZA-free IMO
