Hi there,

I do not know how serious the above is. It looks like plain marketing mumbo jumbo to me. With all those trademark signs everywhere, it just looks “copy pasted”.

Anyway, may I suggest a real firewall “hardware style” (Think Cisco). Or a linux machine with iptables set up (Look into shorewall).

If it must be on the machine, look into “http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=91796″

Thanks,
M

Here’s a decent resource that compares the different options:

Have you considered Windows Firewall? It actually works pretty well.

Can you repost the link? Didn’t consider Windows Firewall. Most people I have talked to never mention in for an enterprise environment.

Thanks

Thanks for the answer. I agree with the marketing mumbo jumbo so I removed it.
