Firewall Comparison?
« on: Apr 4th, 2006, 12:04pm »		 Quote Quote  Modify Modify
I'm looking for a firewall program for my personal computer, but there are so many to choose from.  Which of the following would you guys pick?
 
- Zone Alarm
- 8signs
- Kerios
 
Thanks guys

 Hello   ,  PChoi77
 
  8Signs  ,  as  CHX   , are  plain  packet  filters  , i.e., they  do  not  have  apps  control  like  ZA  and Kerio  have .
 
  So  , if  you  want  to  have  the option   of the so called  " outbound control " , in reality , apps  control  ,  8Signs or  CHX  are  not  your  options  -  both  will  fail  badly  at  any  " leak test " Smiley
 
 
  I'm  a  user  of  8Signs  for  two  or  three  years  , so  I  can't  talk  about  the  others  FWs  you  mentioned  but , even so  , I  would    also  include Outpost  in  your list .
 
  Sorry  if  I  couldn't  help  you  more  .
 
   Regards  ,
 
   mozar
