MxxCon Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 have a question for all of you.... what benefits does a firewall exactly give you besides impede internet performance and convience. false sense of security and inablility to learn proper security methods :D "OMG! SOMEBODY TRIED TO PING ME! GOOD THING ZONEALARM SAVED ME FROM THIS EVIL HACKER!" :rolleyes: common! if you patch up your system and disable unneeded services your as good as firewalled.

Hypercube Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 You would want a firewall to keep tabs on some services. I need shares for school but not home, but I only connect to one subnet ... limiting the chance of damage through the share vern ... limiting which ip i connect to.

amdmstf Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 To all of you I think The Norton Internet Security 2002 is the greatest one i dont know if the update NIS2003 is very important, but i dont think so Any was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonghornXP Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Has anyone gotten a firewall to work right with Longhorn 3683? I got sygate to work, but it sucks, doesn't give you total stealth. I use Kerio on Xp and have perfect stealth. Athough I configured it that way.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LonghornXP Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 I use Kerio PF, it works well on XP and Me. I don't like paying for firewalls or much of anything. I have tried sysgate recently, it works in Longhorn XP, and it did not sleath everything. I removed it. Kerio did not install properly. ZA just sucked. I got a copy of Norton 2003 and it seems to work good. I like the Ad blocking. I am still evaluating it however. But I would say Kerio or Norton PF.

DrunkenMaster Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 Personally, I much prefer a Linux solution to the firewall. Assuming, you have a spare computer, You don't need a router - just 2 nics - and you can use it as a router and a firewall. Most of the firewall apps out there only let you block/accept applications and show annoying pop-ups telling you some one is hacking your computer which makes many paranoid. There's Mandrake firewall, Free Sco (which runs from one floppy disk), IP Cop, PicoBSD, and a whole bunch more. Most are pretty reliable, FreeSco is probably the most tested and I trust them more than BlackIce or Norton or ZoneAlarm. And they're free!!! I much prefer using No-Ads for blocking pop-ups instead since the block-list is a plain text file which is easily backed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deimos Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 i use ZoneAlarm Plus mostly, but i used agnitum outpost for a while and that was great too. outpost supported plugins too, so you can write your own plugins for it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
