Re: [Poll] What Firewall Do You Use? '07
Behind a Linksys WRT300N Firmware v0.93.3
On Windows Vista Ultimate I use the internal Vista firewall both incoming and outgoing. It works like a champ if you create the outbound rules correctly. You first must block all outbound traffic. It comes with many pre-defined rules, you can just tweak them or roll your own.
Once you get it all set up and working, it takes very little administrative activity to keep it working . |

Behind a WRT54G router:
Vista: Windows Vista firewall (set to block all except manually allowed rules)
All other XP machines: Kerio 2.15 (set to block all except manually allowed rules)

said by DaHen  :... 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. |

Right now, Comodo 3 Alpha for Vista. It seems much smoother than Comodo 2 so far. |

Software compatibility issue perhaps?
I don't use Windows anymore but when I did Comodo worked fine for over a year. Never had an issue with it.

I was happily using Comodo for a long while, but everything crashed yesterday and my only option was to reformat and reinstall WinXP. As I just added my regular security programs back in, my CPU kept running at 90-100%. By process of elimination I found that Comodo was causing it. Why, I have no idea since it was working fine with heck of a lot more programs before the crash.
So now it's ZAF for me.

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. |

Switched from ZoneAlarm Security Suite to Comodo and haven't looked back. My computer now runs a tad faster too. Weird...
