Undefeated Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I can't decide on which firewall to choose. I want a firewall that's easy to configure and at the same time can block out almost anything. I would go with Outpost but I heard the new version has some issues with p2p applications. And well.....Sygate has been taken over by Symantec. Zone Alarm is good but it's kind of buggy and has some issues. I would like to know which firewall you guys like and why. It's kinda of hard to decide becuase all of these are very good firewalls. I would really appreciate your guys feedback. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Sygate personally. No problems with any apps I've used, unlike ZA. Also ZA had a conflicting bug in some of my games back in the day which made me move towards an alternative which I still use to this day.Low memory footprint, extremely good at blocking attacks and easy to configure.

Guest Greg Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Sygate gets my vote here too, although BlackICE is at about the same with Sygate.ZoneAlarm is useless, it was good but now in these days, we want real Firewalls not basic little 30second programmed ones :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Lite Posted December 5, 2005 Administrator Share Posted December 5, 2005 BlackICE is at about the same with Sygate.BlackICE isn't a "true" firewall more of an IDS system.ZoneAlarm is useless, it was good but now in these days, we want real Firewalls not basic little 30second programmed ones :oZA is one of the most comprehensive firewalls currently available. In terms of features and developement time its amoung the highest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erRor67 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Ive tried ZA, Sygate and Outpost.. Had no conflicts with p2p programs once I configured it..... Look n' Stop still messes up my programs but I should fix that up once I finish tweaking the settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preso Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Sygate was my favorite, Outpost replaced it. Love its plugins especially blockpost. Just like sygate+protowall combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preso Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Actually it's the (almost) same products under different coat. I heard that Lavasoft version is missing some plugins (don't know for sure which one coz i'd never tried)If you downloaded from this site I believe you got the Agnitum Outpost Pro version.Which one is better?...Hard to tell since which plugins you can miss.

Undefeated Posted December 16, 2005 Author Share Posted December 16, 2005 Thanks guys for all of your opinions. I've decided to pick Outpost as my firewall because I thought it worked very well with my computer and didn't cause many problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
