I've looked at half a dozen firewalls and researched forum discussions on this without success.
So far I have yet to find a firewall that, like the best kerio pfw
2.1.nn accomplished the following:
listing all the rules in one window and allowing modification in the same window.
automatically blocking new programs without me having to worry about a program I forget to make rules about, thus forcing me to decide whether the program is safe.
maintaining a realtime log where you can actually watch in near real time connections and data transfer by IP or domain name listing the rule that applies.
lightweight installs and uninstalls without problems.
many other features I do not see in other personal firewalls.
kerio pfw will not run on windows 7. I may switch to xp just so I can use it again.
