steven36 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 This is why I only use Windows FW because I'm already behind my routers firewall plus a vpn . You take ESET NOD32 for insistence it already has hips you dont even need there firewall to get those. Why do I need a FW ? to block programs easily . ;)Interesting article . :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smallhagrid Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 S/W FWs are quite useful in their own way.For anyone with real security concerns I think nothing beats using a left-over PC with IPFire as a 1st line of defense for a home or business network.http://forum.ipfire.org/index.phphttp://www.ipfire.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
