phex Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I can see myself getting flamed for this comment... haha !<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Why are you seeing flamed for that? I got 2 PC's: 1 for my work as a Non-linear Editor in Chef, and the other just for internet and stuffs. I got a third computer running Smoothwall and it never went down.For me, linux is for programmers and those who want to know a litle bit more about hardware.P.D. and those who hates Micro$oft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickro71 Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I've used most of the one's listed but in the end I just stuck with XP's. Haven't had problems at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zxian Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 All of the listed Firewalls (you need to add Sygate there, DigeratiPrime) have a paid version and a freeware version. Perhaps you downloaded the full version of Outpost and it's asking you for registration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medhunter Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Always There is a Difference ; for me it is remarkable :see ...Limited free edition does not provide the content filtering capabilities such as blocking pop-up windows, ads, VB scripts, cookies, etc. and other extra featuresOutpost Pro 2.1 vs. Outpost Free 1.0Outpost is available in two versions: Free (1.0) and Pro (2.1). Here is a quick comparison of the differences between these versions: Featues Outpost Pro 2.1 Outpost Free 1.0 Packet/Application filtering Yes Yes Network monitoring Yes Yes Web privacy Yes Yes Components Control (Anti-Leak) Yes No Auto-configuration of apps/network Yes No History of connections/events Yes No Stateful Inspection technology Yes No Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) Support Yes No Automatic Online Updates Yes No Support Service Yes NoSaw!!!I know u have to open your wallet But it is worth;I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Maybe you should switch to Sygate if you don't like the feature set of Outpost free. It will handle just about everything on the list that you posted. The only restriction that it has (that I've found) that you get with the Pro version is the ability to set more than 20 Advanced Rules. I can live with that...Hope this helps!

ryan_song Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 I think Sygate personal firewall 5.5 is my best choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew932 Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 I would say Sygate because Zone Alarm used to block my internet access I don't use anything now, I just use Windows Firewall. I should be ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should be ok? <{POST_SNAPBACK}>NO! Windows firewall doesn't really cut it compared to the name brands. It only monitors incoming connections, but not outbound. That means that if you have a nasty on your computer that's sending crap out to the internet, you'd have no idea. With something like Sygate or Kerio, you'd know what was up. Sygate is still #1 for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
