A fresh "Best Firewall" poll for 2007. Please use this as a reference when researching Firewall utilities. As time goes on, the poll can be updated to add further options.

Due to limitations of IPB - this will be seen as 3 polls. Select the Firewall program you wish to vote for, and choose N/A in the other polls.

Happy voting!

I have just recently switched to Online Armor firewall and I have to say, it's great.

Dont I tried it. It will slow your pc down like crazy. My boot time increased by 20 seconds. I even tried Outpst and with Outpost you cannot access certain sites. Stick with Comodo its free and the best. Very light on resources.

Dude Look & Stop is horrible and its cost. Check this link out. Look & Stop got a poor rating.

I want that link. :]

Serioulsy at http://www.firewallleaktester.com/tests.php it's not that bad. Yeah it cost a little but it's small and it does its job properly. Oh btw I'm behind a router too.

Might try Comodo again after reading this thread ...

How are people getting on with Comodo version 3 RC1 ?

Im trying it with Vista Ultimate and apart some random Comodo crashes it seems good.

Ive disabled the Defense+ , it was slowing down my computer a bit....i just kept the default vista alternative running. I might try it again after the final release which is set to next week.

I just started using Comodo Firewall 3.0, and it looks nice.

I need to know though, if I accidentally click 'remember my option' when a program asks for access, how to I revert back so that whenever that particular program need access Comodo will ask me for it again?

Outpost Pro ... Looks quite good and I see it gets good marks on testing, but some people report browser slowdown and that it's almost "too secure" ..

Anyone here experience browser slowdown issues with Outpost Pro ? Does it lag your pc as much as ZA Pro ?, Any other drawbacks to look out for ?

      I'm not aware of this issue, but to help the other guys.  What version of Android are you using? Did you try a different browser? To see if Edge is the issue here.

      I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171

      By Copernic · Posted

      Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.
