Re: Whats a good firewall

Hi, i have tried many firewalls in my time but have never come across
one that i and 100% satisfied with.
I am currently using COMODO Firewall
http://personalfirewall.comodo.com/ and have found that it is very good
but is still lacking lots of features that i would find useful, like:
blocking all in-going or all-outgoing connections separately, and well
theirs other little things like that but i don't want a firewall that
has 100's of feature (too many) because then it just gets too much...

But any way i just want to find out what other people use and if COMODO
is a good firewall compared to other firewalls.

Try some to see what you like. There is Sunbelt Software's Kerio Personal Firewall and Zone Alarm as examples. A software firewall is just one component of system security. It is wise to use a router with NAT as well as practicing safe hex.
