I think TPF is the best out there, its features are more granular than that of most personal firewalls out there in my experience. -----Original Message----- From: Craig Searle [mailto:craig.searle () sift com au] Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2003 7:54 PM To: 'Sridhar J'; security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: RE: Personal Firewalls I have used all three in the past and found Sygate PRO to be the best by far (I haven't tried the free version, but I have been told it is quite good too). The logging features will also help you to better understand what is going on while you are "connected". Having said that, ZoneAlarm is also very good- a close second to Sygate.

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?
