Windows 7 Firewall, With Router.

reply to tmaertin
IPTables, which is built into the Linux kernel with different front ends offered for various distros and DEs.

For WinXP an older, tighter, slimmer, cleaner version of Comodo v2.4.18.184 (thanks to Trel).

Smoothwall at the perimeter protecting three separate networks, Kerio 2.1.5 on my only Windows (XP) machine, IPtables / Linux based systems.

reply to Wildcatboy
I'm on Windows XP, so Comodo 2.4.18.184
You know, the last good one.

reply to Wildcatboy
Mine;
Windows built-in firewall for systems
Hardware router firewall for networks

reply to Wildcatboy
A couple of corrections:

1) pfSense is not Linux. It is FreeBSD.

2) You forgot 3rd party Linux firmware, like DD-WRT and Tomato, etc.

3) Techincally all Linux based "firewalls" use the same firewall underneath -- IpTables.

Getting people to stop using windows is more or less the same as trying to get people to stop smoking tobacco products. They dont want to change; they are happy with slowly dying inside. -- munky99999

I have a Cisco ASA 5510 for my home office, only becuase I have 5 Site to Site Vpn tunnels with my companies locations.

Nothing like getting enterprise level security for no cost.

reply to Wildcatboy
Windows XP Pro, Zone Alarm w/router.

Windows 7 Home Prem, Windows Firewall w/router.

And I voted wrong, I missed the "router w/software firewall" choice.

reply to Wildcatboy
Windows XP Pro SP3 Firewall + 2Wire 2701 HG-G with software firewall rules in place.

reply to Wildcatboy
I find it most interesting how this poll is finding the largest usage thus far is the Windows Firewall. Not too many years ago, that would be unheard of!

reply to Wildcatboy
I use IP tables with a basic frontend (CSF) on the linux boxes and a router/firewall combo (smc) at the network edge.

reply to jaykaykay
I think the firewall of Vista and 7 is reasonable, no need to replace. And no one just bothers to disable it and install another

reply to Wildcatboy
XP Pro with router, and ZA. I've tried others, but always go back to ZA.
