Firewall Poll 2011 Multiple Choice Poll
Which firewall program do you use? |
|
Please do participate in this poll as your votes and comments will be referred to often throughout the year to provide assistance to others in their choice of Firewall. Credit also goes to Owlbet and TransitMan for setting the foundation for this poll 2 years ago. Firewalls that had zero votes last year have been removed from the poll this year. If you are using any of them or any other unlisted firewall, please specify which one after voting "others" and they may be added next year. Anti Spyware poll will be coming soon next. |

FYI, "Norton PF / Norton Internet Security" should include Norton 360 too. NPF is very old. I think the last version was 2005 IIRC. I don't know anyone who still uses it! Do you? For my firewall setups, it depends on which PCs I use since I have Mac OS X, Linux/Debian, and Windows (currently 2000 SP4 and XP Pro. SP3). They are all behind a Linksys WRT54GL router (stock firmware -- lazy and it works fine :P) and each computer has its own software firewall (mostly to block outbound network connections I like to watch). Anyways, I did multiple vote options. :P |

Too bad your poll doesn't allow you to pick more than one. For the 'router' selections, I would have had 'NAT router' and 'router with SPI firewall'. I am running Zonealarm on the PCs, with a router running SPI software (DD-WRT). |

A combination of snort and iptables. My work laptop is windows xp and it uses windows built in firewall, but is also usually behind work or my router/firewall. |

I'm lazy.
Windows Built in Firewall, only because it's there, on both XP & W7.
In days gone by, I had always used Zone Alarm. These were the days when ZA was still lean. I would be hesitant to try it now. (My father ran into troubles with recent versions, I believe it was with the browser plugin?)
I really should look into something more robust. |

Every computer security person I've talked to said the Windows Vista/7 firewall with router is just perfect. No need for a 3rd party firewall... |

I use windows built in firewall along with a router. If I want to see live connections inbound or outbound I use TCPView. |

I also use Windows built in along with my router. TCPView is also used by me to see my live in and out connections. |

Thanks for doing the Poll! I rely on my Router alone. Have had many software Firewalls in the past, and really didn't like any of them. |

I'm of the mind that the built-in Win7 firewall accompanied by my D-Link DIR-615 router is plenty sufficient. |
