Re: Personal Firewall Recommendations

["Tomas Wolf" <tomas () skip cz>]

I like Kerio PF a lot. It has known volnurability (remote buffer overflow) but there is an easy workaround.

It is easy to use, flexible, and free. It checks file integrity (by MD5sum). I like it a lot. It can be setup on a very 
high level of packet filtering... I have also found a lot of recomendation from the resource point of view, which means 
it takes less resources to run kerio to run zone-alarm.

Good luck -- Tomas
