Help, Hardware Firewall that will control outgoing program control

With all the concern about security, why do you still believe in controlling outbound communication being feasible?

Netgear has an ICSA FW router, that blocks out bound traffic. I hear Dlink has a good one too, but I don't remember the model number. I myself, I use a low-end Watchguard. You should make sure you get something that works with Wallwatcher.

There isn't one - they all block type, not application. There is nothing you can install on your computer that could reliably identify the application to the firewall solution.

None of them block "Application" outgoing - they only block traffic by port or traffic type - they have no way to know what application created the traffic.

I know this and I should have mentioned it. However, they block outbound is the key.

The person asked "will block application outgoing" and that means your reply fails the requirement. Your reply could imply that it meets the requirement, as you specified a solution for the question, although your solution fails the requirement.

It was corrected by you was it not, it moot.

Checkpoint FW1 NGX would block some type of traffic with Application Intelligence(either outgoing or ingoing). You must specify what type of application you want to block.

The only way it can do that is to have a client side app installed and that means it can be compromised. Also, if it doesn't have a client side piece installed then it's not blocking and application, it's blocking ports or protocols.
