As it was written on Aug 15, thus Kryptos spake unto security-basics: krypto: Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2003 02:59:33 -0700 krypto: From: Kryptos <kryptos () phreaker net> krypto: To: security-basics () securityfocus com krypto: Subject: Personal Firewall Recommendations krypto: krypto: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- krypto: Hash: SHA1 krypto: krypto: I've been installing a new system for a friend, and am wondering what krypto: personal firewalls might be recommended for a home system running krypto: Windows 2000 on a T1 line. Anyone have a recommendation other than krypto: ZoneAlarm? krypto: krypto: Thanks. Ive read through all of the responses regarding firewalls. I personally recommend ZoneAlarm Pro But I STRONGLY recommend that you test whatever firewall you pick with GRC's LeakTest. (This the only reason why Im responding, because no one else mentioned it) When properly used, LeakTest (http://www.grc.com/lt/leaktest.htm) will discover holes (if any) in your firewall.
