Hi there are alot of good personal firewalls , some free some aren't i have windows XP at home and i use the regular windows IPSEC but before that i used Tiny Firewalls version 2, i rather using version 2 the freeware release as the the firewall doesnt have all the other "extras" like tripwire and all which slow down the system ... version 2 have a clean gui and rulebase which can be configured excatly like the "big" firewalls :-) try it out , you wont regret .. just dont use the automatic rule generation .. use a normal ruleset and allow outbound and inbound connections like you want excatly without the use of automatic "learning" mode . g'luck and have a good day . -----Original Message----- From: Sridhar J [mailto:sridhar.jayaraman () wipro com] Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2003 9:27 PM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Personal Firewalls Hi I have a PIII 550 m/c running Win98. I need a personal firewall for it. I am looking at Zone Alarm, Sygate and Tiny Personal Firewall as my options. My intention is not only to protect my systems, but also to learn something about logs and analysing them. In light of this, which do you think would be ideal? No, I don't have a *nix system and don't intend to use it now. ---------- Regards Sridhar J ---------- "What you do in this world is a matter of no consequence;The question is, what can you make people believe that you have done." --Sherlock Holmes in "A Study in Scarlet" ------------------------------------------------------------------- Is SPAM over-loading your e-mail server, disk space or bandwidth?
