Lightweight Firewall?

So you're ignoring the existance of botnets and zombies?

Yours, VB.

Hi Spender, I don't know who the second poster was. Someone that can't read, I guess. Which is why s/he is filtered.

The OP asked what to use to check outgoing traffic and Sygate does. With a minimum of fuss. I never claimed absolute security for anything. I agree with your post. I'm only a home user with a dial up connection. IF I were a business, with large masses of info to protect, I'd hire a security guru to protect it. But I ain't.

There are many here with much more knowledge than I have, who take the time to answer questions. I'm thankful there are. I've learned a lot just lurking. And there are some who take great pleasure in jumping on posters, usually with useless info.

LOL. Did someone ever get this thing not breaking up network functionality? And when will the tech guys get some clue about sane default rules? When will it learn to send ICMP_DESTUNREACH?

Fine, but Sygate also comes with a lot of application security that does degrade security.

Eh... then why are you harassing about packet filtering at all? You normally don't need it at all and you need a lot of knowledge to get it right.

Why worry about it?

The person is what he is and doesn't understand anything.

I think that zone alarm is quite a user-friendly firewall but in the last 2 years I have experienced probelms , ainly related to p2p use. I encourage usage of jetico and kerio
