NIS2kx!!!! that, along with SNORT and IPTables are the best... But yet again... the only Firewall that will do it's job 99.99% of the time... is the old time favorite that nobody actually knows about... is the :o HARDWARE FIREWALL :o

btw... running a combination of Firewalls will only slow your internet down because all the traffic will have to go through a few firewalls before it can just get out or into your computer.

norton personal firewall.

it keeps alerting me every day that there are attempts to get into my computer from an unknown ip address. it blocks it everytime.

whether this is true or not, i will never know.

but i haven't had any probs so far.

The best firewall would have to be Norton Internet Security/Personal Firewall 2002

[akaj23]

Yup. NIS 2002. Plugs into NAV 2002 nicely too.

[gandolas]

ZoneAlarm :)

[Borg77]

Tiny Personal Firewall + Zone Alarm = Best

[AaronXP]

Kerio's flawless, had no problems accessing computers on the LAN, and no internet sharing troubles either. ZoneAlarm is getting bloated IMO, with the new crappy GUI in version 3, and making it more of a hassle to reach the advanced features. It didn't work comfortably with internet sharing either.

[AaronXP]

[Jaydude]

[Redestium]

I'm using Outpost Firewall..

I'm intrigued by Outpost now, but I'd like to know why people seem to like it over other software firewall solutions. I'm currently using NIS 2003 by the way.

Yeah, I read that but you know how some companies slant the figures in their favor, nvidia anyone? ;)

However, would you say that it's the best firewall you've tried?
