Firewall you use
« on: August 04, 2005, 04:55:19 PM »
As we are often discussing about firewalls recently, so I think stop talking and let's look what are we using.  ;D

Besides, I'm using Kerio PF and my SmartAX MT820 ADSL Router has integrated firewall too (I think it means router/hardware firewall)

ZA home here, primarily because it's quite user-friendly.  And that's a major factor if, like me, you have in effect a learning disability.  I never bothered with the Pro version mainly because (as far as I can tell) the only things that it adds are its Privacy features, which I already handle nicely with other things (which don't conflict with avast, by the way).

About the only negative about ZA is that once in a while it'll "forget" its settings, particularly with regard to program permissions, and need those cleaned up.

I'm using Kerio 4.2.0 too, it's rather easy to use and understand what it's supposed to do and I really love its Behavior Blocking that give me a good level of proactive protection. It seems that Kerio hasn't had any problems with avast!, they're always love each other on my machine.  ;D

I voted for Router/Firewall.

Windows XP software firewall I use = Sygate 5.5 Pro

With Fedora 4 software firewall = Firestarter

what's a firewall/router? I mean it's okay to use a regular firewall and that at the same time right?
