Dwarden Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 This firewall beats ZAP, NortonFirewall or KPF to death , but it's bit harder to learn it ...

noir Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 How is this compared to Kerio PF 4 (since they basically origin from the same code)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberfrem Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 You say this is better than KPF? (I use KPF 2.15) Can you please elaborate on why you believe this to be the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwarden Posted April 1, 2004 Author Share Posted April 1, 2004 This is totally different from old Tiny PF or Kerio PF ... TPF got these main modules : Windows Security Firewall IDS Integrity Guard You have complete control over way how are You check application / service / driver by path/name/MD5 You got complete control over what starts what, what access what file/folder/drive, what can access what part of registry control over ole / com (also VBA scripts but that module was disabled due to bugs be back in future versions) and so on ... Also there are various levels of control to set from pretty simple (noobs) to extreme complex rules which depends just only on your skills lol in my eyes it gives me total control over everything i can imagine and it's very stable (in this version i know about one small bug so far) so in compare with KPF problems this improvement of TPF (if anyone remember TPF version 3.x they were terrible) was for me total suprise ... give it try, read help and manual and You will discover best stuff self ...

Samoa Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 KPF 2.1.5 is a great firewall. Inbound/Outbound traffic. KPF 4.10-14 are great. Inbound/Outbound/application lauching/replacing/adblocking/popupblocking/event logging/security levels/instant stop/etc...... I haven't tried Tiny since KPF took over, but I am highly doubtful that I would give up KPF4 for what you just decribed. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i tried in one of madness moments new TPF ... it's definitely x times better ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samoa Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Whatever dude, I like the popup blocking/adblocking, I haven't had any problems with it. I'd rather wait and see how good SP-2 is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
