Forum: Geek Forum Topic: Firewall started by: kornalldaway Posted by kornalldaway on Jul. 30 2001,20:42
what is a nice firewall to use.i need something that would run without taking up all of my system resources, like norton software does, and i need it to run under XP. most of the newer firewalls would run under XP if they run under 2000. I have tried ConcealPC and it just kept crashing on older XP betas, BlackIce Defender wouldn't even start properly and Outpost ran fine for a few days but then started giving me system errors. Any sudjestion on a good firewall/intruder detection software? ------------------ Posted by demonk on Jul. 30 2001,21:12
Try ZoneLabs's ZoneAlarm. If you use it for personal use then it is free.< http://www.zonelabs.com > ------------------ Posted by incubus on Jul. 30 2001,21:54
<geek>Or, use that dusty ol' 486 in the corner, and install < FreeSCO > or < SmoothWall >. Job's a good 'un! </geek> ------------------ Posted by Spydir on Jul. 30 2001,23:08
take incubus's idea, and use openbsd. That's what I'm gonna be doing (once I get the damned floppy working!!)

Fuck sco and openbsd. Use an OS that has a development effort behind it (snicker).Slackware... kernel 2.4.x and iptables on a 486. Posted by YouGunnaStopMe? on Jul. 31 2001,14:19
