KPF v2.1.5 and Netgear RT311 router with its custom rules (forgot whose rules). If I ever switch to Vista, I can't use the old KPF anymore.

Stopped using those expensive firewalls that seemed to fight with other applications.
Comodo seems to work great here behind a Linksys router.

Same here. Using Zone Alarm (required) on the work PC, but found much better speed with Comodo on the home machine. Have dad running an older ZA-free on his Win98 machine.

I tried to vote for Outpost which is on my system and ZoneAlarm which is on my wife's and daughter's systems but only one of them registered.
I only use a software firewall now since my Linksys BEFSR41 Router died on me.

Router only here, though I use OS X's built in firewall, and a handy program called Little Snitch to block any further attempts.

I'm sitting behind a Linksys WRT54GL, and I'm currently using Vista's firewall to control outbound connections.

The windows boxes are running the built-in firewall, no additional software on any of the machines. Everything lives behind an IPCop box (linux machine running iptables), works like a charm.

In XP Pro I run Sunbelt Kerio 4.3.268 behind a NAT firewall - it's come in handy at times. In Linux, SUSE has its' own built-in firewall, still behind NAT.

Everything is behind a router. On the PC, I'm running CA's Internet Security. On my Macs, I'm running Little Snitch which is strictly outbound protection. The Mac firewall is turned on for inbound protection.

I am using a combination Firewall & HIPS known as Dynamic Security Agent. It's free at...
»www.privacyware.com/dynamic_secu···ent.html

Firewall -- DSA makes ports invisible to port scans and protects unauthorized entry the same as a dedicated firewall. DSA also contains Private Firewall's layer-3 firewall using Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) technology running in the background.

DSA also provides protection for TCP, UDP, ICMP and and UDP Protocols, just like Privatefirewall.

HIPS -- DSA has 4 configurable/trainable modules in its interface (System Anomaly, Email Anomaly, Process Detection, and Application Security). DSA detects malware and intrusions based on behaviors characteristic of unauthorized system use. Examples include but are NOT limited to the following:

- Attempts to access a protected registry area
- Attempts to access a protected object
- Attempts to Initiate a foreign process
- Attempts to control Windows service
- Attempts to create a DNS request
- Attempts to initiate outgoing TCP traffic
- Attempts to SMTP more than your personal average amount of email
- Abnormal cpu usage for any given process
- Abnormal number of threads for any given process

Thus, DSA has strong Firewall capabilities PLUS its 4 Modules provide superb behavior-blocker HIPS-type capabilities.
