sagerj Posted January 15, 2005 CID Share Posted January 15, 2005 Does anyone know of a good firewall i could get? I have zonealarm Pro right now but it slows down my internet alot and it has a lot of problems. I basically have to close it every time i use BT or a P2P program.. so whats the use. Any ideas for a program would be helpful, thanx Regards, Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Reverend Posted January 15, 2005 CID Share Posted January 15, 2005 I've been told that Sygate (??) is one of the very best. Hmm... I use ZA Pro and it has never had to be closed for anything! Cheers! The Reverend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted January 15, 2005 CID Share Posted January 15, 2005 as in other threads, go hardware. pick up a router w/ hardware firewalling functions, you can get em as low as 50 bucks, you might get a wireless base thrown in as a bonus, and with that puppy blocking all ports but the ones you tell it not to and denying icmp commands, meaning noone can ping you etc. you've got a good start, and it won't affect your system a bit.

VanBuren Posted January 15, 2005 CID Share Posted January 15, 2005 Outpost Firewall http://www.agnitum.com or Sygate Firewall http://www.sygate.com , both have FREE and Pro versions and are heads above ZA. VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
