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.

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 ?

    • Microsoft releases major feature updates for stock Windows 11 apps

      By Neeo · Posted

      When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
