Hi.

 

Yes, nothing is truly free and most free versions of things

tend to be nag- or cripple-ware but - what are the best

free firewalls available from your point of view ?

 

I want to add something to windows innate firewall.

I used to use ZoneAlarm a *long* time ago.

 

Any suggestions and recommendations, please ?

MS Defender was pretty good but if you have Win7 it should already be loaded.
There comes a time in every musician's life when they must decide what instrument they should master. Few. If any are ever worthy enough to master. The cowbell.

Um... well if you ever make the upgrade to a 4 port router with NAT, you basically get a free firewall that works very well :)

 

But as for free... do you want freeware or do you accept ;) ;) free :eyebrow: :eyebrow: suggestions as well?

I can still recommend ZoneAlarm

It takes some time to set it up but after that its great

zonealarm is a bloated resource hog and not worth a pinch of piss - the best advice you have had on here was from Psyrus - you can not beat a hardware firewall

 

get a decent router and you wont have to run crappy software for protection

 

if you really really have no other choice - then comodo isn't to bad - just dont bother installing the bundled software that comes with.

 

if you have an old machine lying around the house set it up with ubuntu or debian or even esmith if you want JUST a firewall - all have come a long way to the not so linux friendly user - and it might just stimulate that old grey matter of yours mr china :p~
