Re: Outbound Firewall Only?
There is nothing wrong with having a hardware firewall and a software firewall set to both filtering inbound; layered security is the way to go. Firewalls like ZoneAlarm Free are very easy to set up and filter inbound and outbound. The only thing we don't recommend is rulling 2 software firewalls simultaneously, as they can conflict.
If you really want outbound only, then you could try Kerio 2.1.5, and make a rule to allow ALL inbound, and just create outbound rules. Although, because it is rule based it can be a little trickier to set up, especially if you are unsure exactly how the internet works. But I still think it would be fairly easy to cope with.
Hope that helps  |
