need a free firewall

coolguy · Jun 30, 2004

What would be a good free firewall software? I am thinking of zonealarm, escan security suite etc. What would you guys recommend?

I personally use ZA,

but others that are highly recomended are....

Kerio
Sygate
Outpost

any of those 4 are very good.. some easier to setup than others...ZA is pretty easy to setup IMO.

they all have free or paid versions and are available for download from here http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloads34.html

I'm with Halo on this one. It has been working fine for me also.

Sygate of Kerio.

ZoneAlarms forums are full of people complaining of ZA not working as it should, and in many cases disconnecting your internet connection randomly.

Only affect the latest realease, but go read their support forums before you risk the new ZAP.

I use Sygate, pretty crappy UI, but the most powerful by a long way

I've been real happy with Kerio.
