edit: this poll is strictly windows related. which is pretty sad considering how many firewalls are NOT windows based.

Perhaps it is related to the fact that 90% of forum users have Windows?

So change the poll to "Which Windows firewall do you use?"?

I use strictly a router with (a linux based NAT) firewall builtin. Otherwise I would be using Shorewall also.

Apple uses IPFW, which is not the BSD firewall. There is no the BSD firewall. There are several that can work on various BSD systems: PF, IPF, and ipfw. :)

Old flavor of Kerio Personal Firewall 2.1.5 in most of the cases except in Windows 2003 where I use built in Basic Firewall that comes with Remote and Routing Access.

At work, everything handled by PIX black box.
