why are you buying application layer firewalls? dont as a security person
you learn anything?

get hold of a spare 386, and make a netbsd, ipcop, smoothwall, linux based
firewall, alot of fun and a shit load better, I will personally stick with
my checkpoint box, but please please start taking ya firewalls of your own
machines, they deserve a place of their own, ON THEIR OWN BOX, Tiny and the
rest have all been breached with deep packet inspections through nemesis, at
the end of the day, its still Layer 7

I remember using atguard a long time ago. Symantec
bought atguard and now uses the engine in Norton
Personal Firewall/Internet Security. I personally
don't like NPF.

I used Tiny Personal Firewall 1.x before they were
bought by Kerio. Kerio Personal Firewall is the
replacement to TPF. Their latest beta causes error
messages on my computer but other than that it looks
great. Im using the stable version 2.15 until they
sort all of the bugs out :

Stable:
http://www.kerio.com/dwn/kpf2-en-win.exe

4.0 RC3:
http://www.kerio.com/dwn/kpf4-beta.exe

They also have great support forums:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/keriofirewall/

anyway, it appears it's finally time to move on
from atguard and I was
wondering if anyone here has any suggestions for
something simple and
similar.
