Dual layer firewall system :)
« on: September 01, 2004, 01:36:53 PM »
I just established a very powerful firewall system.
Its especially interesting for all those that think that Windows firewall is unsecure because it lacks outbound protection and are searching for low overhead firewall.

Here is the solution :)

Outpost 1.0 + Windows Firewall (i use SP2 ICF)

Outpost has certain problems with Stealthing ports but provides program control and outbound protection,Windows Firewall provides great inbound protection and incredible port Stealthing capability.
When using these two together you get incredible dual layer protection with minimal possible overhead.
Also there is no communications problems,because eMule runs with High Id (communications are not limited in any way),also all other programs run without problems.

You can get Outpost 1.0 Free here:

Better is a router/hardware firewall and a software one on the comp. ;D

Even better is puling the connection plug out ;D ;D ;D

ps: ICF isn't in SP2, it is called Windows Firewall.

I know,i was just to lazy to write full name. But we all know what ICF means :P

I'd use Kerio instead,but its far from being so light on resources as Outpost is and its lame with application rules,because it asks for each and every different IP/Port even if the same application (already Allowed) tries to connect.

Imho even with Kerio 4.x, you can set/edit the application-rule to include all IP's/ports, right .. ?

Is outbound really that important though? I mean, if you run frequent trojan scanners, anti virus, etc. and have something blocking inbound (WinFirewall) I think you should be ok.

Unless you can 100% guarantee your system will not catch a new trojan infection, then it is prudent to have outbound protection.

After all do you want to take the risk of your username/password, account details, etc. in the hands of some fraudsters/criminals organisation, don't wory about outbound protection.

2 things

1) i thought if you have 2 firewalls, they conflict?

2) Why have 2 when u can just get  in/outbound protection firewall all in one.

Rejzor, why not just use windows firewall and an appwall?  Like one of the ones I listed here

http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=1;action=display;threadid=6858

Low overhead, no probs with p2p's

Just curious?

@lee16
After some tests i found out that Windows Firewall has the best inbound protection of all firewalls. Especially in field of Stealthing ports where Kerio fails. Outpost Firewall 1.0 has some problems with inbound,but it has a good outbound protection and provides max info possible for all connections that go through machine.

I can track where did some program connected,through which port/protocol,i can track all FTP/HTTP/HTTPS URLs,track sent/recived data for each program.

These two firewalls certanly work together,because all ports are Stelthed at all times,programs always ask for outbound and it can also detect changes in program. There was also no conflicts with any program that i use,so i can say its works perfectly.

Does the Windows Firewall beat ZA on inbound stealth and protection?

How do you rate syagate's inbound protection compared to ZA and Windows firewall.

In fact would you say the outbound is just as good as outpost/ZA aswell?

So, if ZA stealths inbound so well and has outbound protection, what more is needed? Why make it more complicated than need be?    ???
