Is Comodo perspective firewall?

No. For multiple reason:

- Who would be so stupid to install and run such obvious nonsense like a "personal firewall"? You even wasted reading a lot about this crap without even considering that it's nonsense.

- A good solution to what? Fucking up your computer and making it more insecure? No, don't even dare to claim security!

- Who rated it high? And for which reasons?

- There is no improvement. There are changes, usually towards adding more crap.

- It is no firewall. Due to the implementation, it's obviously possible to build a firewall with that thing.

- It doesn't have any non-negligible potential. Where should it come from?

Nice one Herhor - hook, line and sinker!

Yes

I got rid of Zone Alarm recently in favour of Comodo

It is free, simple to use and effective

GO FOR IT and ignore any crazy replies you might already have got!!!

Thanks for advice, buddy! I have already decided to plonk all knowitall gurus. :)

One would have thought that you'd become less of an asshole, with time.

One would have been very wrong.

Indeed. Less that none or almost none is hardly achievable.

Or did you actually intend to criticize the above-mentioned technical facts?

Well, judging from the other replies, it seems like the OP just wanted to hear what he'd like to hear. But why then did he ask in first place?

Every time someone says something you disagree with, you're condescending.

I doubt you're like that in real life. If you were, I'm sure you would have been shot by now, or at least had your nose broken. Maybe you have.

So why the attitude on Usenet?

He doesn't live in a country that permits citizens to carry firearms or own firewams - that's why he can act that way :)

Sounds almost as if it always was the messenger's fault to bring the bad news. I'd say you're right, clearly saying what you want is no easy business in real life due to such oppression.

Because there's no remote-stabbing-over-IP? You won't get a broken nose if you openly tell someone something on Usenet. Indeed, this encourages being more honest and direct. And I don't consider this as a bad thing.

And after all, there's a difference between polite and smearing honey around smo. mouth. I just told him where his concepts and ideas are broken, that he missed to search for things deluding his opinion (clearly a lot of confirmation bias), and especially ignoring technical facts. But he really just wanted to hear what he'd like to hear. No, that's definitely not my fault.

Anyway, this is getting OT unless you want to discuss the deluded technical aspects (f.e. why Comodo FW is unsuitable for building common types of firewalls like a NAT firewall, a bridging firewall or a proxy firewall due to implementation). Thus fup2p.

I've tried Comodo several times, but personally I don't like it. My gripes are as follows:

1) It assumes hard approval or denial of each new rule. There doesn't appear to be a way to establish a rule based on port, protocol etc. when the first popup occurs. But instead, you have to fiddle with denying an application first and tailoring the method of access later.

2) It builds a database of applications, which are considered trustworthy but then doesn't list the ruleset internally to modify.

3) It's buggy, if you change a specific rule several times it sometimes forgets to display the results of the change or combines them with a similar rule of the same application incorrectly.

Your mileage my vary, but when I look for a firewall I look for the ability to lock an application specifically to what I think it should have access to. Comodo is to much like Zone Alarm or in other words a firewall for the masses (not flexible for the power user). Personally I think Kerio 2.15 is the best firewall out there, and yes it doesn't handle leak tests but then again no firewall is perfect.

Good Luck, FM

Why should this be wrong? After all, exactly these popups are the most common problem of the PFW crap.

Indeed, it shouldn't build such a database at all.

Yeah, and I'd like if every day way sunday. Now, what about some serious (e.g. FULFILLABLE) requirements?

Should it?

This is a lame excuse for Kerio also being crap?

No.

A firewall is something you run on a highly secured platform - because if the machine is compromised, your firewall also no longer can be trusted.

Implementing a firewall on your host including silly ideas like outbound control means trusting a firewall on a machine that is already compromised - because you are allowing potentially malicious code to run inside the very environment you are trying to protect - most likely with administrative rights - hoping to "control" it. That never has and never will work reliably.

In other words, you were'nt actually interrested in getting different opinions.

I would say that he's not interested in getting "opinions" of people that are rude and don't know how to "talk" with people.

It's very obvious that this is a fake posting with a fake question done by the marketing people of Commodo to advertize here in Usenet.

You're a f*cking Spammer!

People, please don't buy Commodo until they stop spamming Usenet.

Thank you, VB.

He should look at what is said and judge on that - not at how it is said.

Wrong, in this world, Usenet, all we have is HOW it's read by people. If SG is abusive in his tone/text then he will be ignored by most. If he can keep from being ill mannered and ranting and seen as a kid, then he'll be listened too (notice I didn't say taken seriously).

The history of 'tone' in messages is what people remember when reading posts by a nickname they remember - and SG has a constant 'tone' of abusive replies.

Ridiculous.

VB.

Mr. VB in his riotously post above stated I am some Comodo's shill and spamer???

Scat into my KF, bozo! Mr. SG is waiting for you there!

NO! I am new firewall user without much experience in that area who looks at good and free program of that kind. Of course, my present point of view is based on self-made searchings. If I am not right any constructive help is welcome. I am not stand pat on Comodo! Maybe another personal free firewall is better: Jetico, Kerio, Ashampo or maybe all personal firewalls are piece of crap? I don't know and that is why I subscribed this newsgroup.

Cheers!
