graysky Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 Can someone recommend a good open-source firewall for XP?
MikeyHunt Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 Can someone recommend a good open-source firewall for XP?sure... (imho) the best free non-bloated firewall for XP is Comodohttp://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/
anonymous_user Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 Comodo is free but not open-source.The only open-source firewall I can think of is WIPFW but it may not be easy to use.
Yzöwl Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 This is a new project which may be worth looking at. Many of the other Open Source Projects I have used previously seem to have stopped active development.
kz26 Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 Honestly, the best free firewalls are not open-source. I have been using Comodo for quite some time now and am very pleased with it.True, open source is nice, but sometimes it isn't the best.
Tarun Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 Another vote for Comodo, though I only install the Firewall and leave Defense+ out (annoys me far too much and see no use for it).
albator Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 Comodo is too huge, but it may be ok for my mother.
graysky Posted July 3, 2008 Author Posted July 3, 2008 Here is a good review site for those interested:http://www.matousec.com/projects/firewall-...nge/results.php
graysky Posted July 4, 2008 Author Posted July 4, 2008 No port of iptables for win32 that I can find... plus I want something to offer application-based rules and an easy GUI Thus far, outpost is the only product that offers this but it's not free. Comodo doesn't and is clunky in my experience, and online armor doesn't really do what I want either.
