I guess the piece of crap from CA is the lesser evil.

For a serious packet filter just take the Windows Firewall or take a look at Wipfw (wipfw.sf.net) or CHI-X.

no wont use the windoze firewall is the one from sygate any good or any other recomendations ? bgame

Why not?

No. Actually this one is not just bloated and lousy, it even opens up a local privilege escalation path.

Not using any packet filter at all? Additionally hardening the system? On ethernet devices only: IPFilter? Even the IPsec policies are pretty fine for packet filtering.

i am using a dlink 624 router with firewall running can u give me a link for CHI-X please thanks bgame
