thanks for the update

[Siddharta]

Was there a professional firewall once? And if so when did they stop that version? Do we have to assume that the free version now is as good as the pro was once? :think:

[Tunerz]

How does Comodo fair against Privatefirewall on Inbound protection?

Screw this, this forum is the wrong place to ask for technical questions such as this one.

@ Tunerz

Most firewalls perform quite well . . . . . . . . . . . . including the Windows inbuilt firewall. The real test of a firewall for a :pirate: however is in its being customizable and the level of granularity provided at protecting the User while handling traffic.

COMODO delivers kick-ass protection over both inbound and outbound traffic, as well with minimal alerts. 8)

@ Sid

The Pro version existed when COMODO was at V2 - it was . . . . . . . . . . free, too (hence just a change in name.)

Thanks for the update. :) I skipped the last update so I'll update to this one.

Yes, this product used to be called Comodo Firewall Pro (it was free though) a long time ago. But Comodo dropped Pro from the Firewall name when they merged their Antivirus product with their Firewall product. Good thing that nsane still posts just the Firewall download links. :dance2:

Why is the download link for Comodo Firewall Only 5.0.32580.1142 - x64 giving me exactly the same thing I downloaded back on September 30th? :unsure: What I downloaded back at the end of September says its version is also 5.0.32580.1142. The digital signature of both files is dated September 24.

What is going on? Was there an update?

EDIT: Here's the proof:

[Tunerz]

Are there tests, or at least someone is willing to test, about Comodo's inbound protection?

For outbound, it's doing pretty good actually, but Inbound is what I care a bit more.

[*dcs18]

Check 2 steps below the selection in your screenshot for 'Product version' - it's showing 5.0.163652.1142

There's another aspect, I'd like to point out about the rollout of v5:-

01.) 5.0.163652.1142 (old)

02.) 5.0.32580.1142 (new)

COMODO needs to get their numbering in order 5.0.32580.1142 < 5.0.163652.1142 :hehe:

02.) 5.0.32580.1142 (new)

I know. As I already said, the two files are absolutely identical. Here is today's download. It's identical to the September download. Both of their digitial signatures are identical.

So what is going on?

[*dcs18]

It's highly probable, the COMODO link is yet to be updated.

@ Tunerz

People could quote you innumerable tests like the CLT and matousec.com - I'd just try to connect a COMODO driven system to the LAN of any Corporate domain. B)

[Siddharta]

@ all

So you have been using it and recommend it? I believe it is box's favourite one too! No system slow downs if used with Nod 32?

[Night Owl]

It's highly probable, the COMODO link is yet to be updated.

There's no news yet at the Comodo Forums Announcements. The latest version there is 5.0.162636.1135. According to the Comodo Firewall binaries (both x64 and x86), "File version 5.0.32580.1142" is equal to "Product version 5.0.163652.1142". There doesn't seem to be anything new.

@Sid: We all use it and love it. It's fully compatible with ESET AV (atleast from my side).

@Night Owl: You are right, both hashes are the same. I'll let Biz look into it. ;)

[Tunerz]

@dcs18

Like I said, inbound protection, not the outbound ones in matousec and CLT tests. :)

[shajt]

Mine is like this :

Have no idea was it auto-updated or not.

As I recall , auto-update ask first and shoot later :)

[Night Owl]

@Siddharta: Yes, I've been using Comodo Firewall and I recommend it too. I'm using it on 3 PCs with NOD32 and I don't have any system slow downs that I'm aware of.

@DKT27: Thanks for confirming that there's nothing new here. The download is from the end of September.

@ all

I'd recommend it only . . . . . . . . . . . . . if you're using it with NOD32 EAV not ESS obviously (have come across quite a few blokes attempting that sort of hara-kiri.) :lol:

@dcs18

Like I said, inbound protection, not the outbound ones in matousec and CLT tests. :)

Yes of course, inbound protection - like I mentioned in my previous post, it's not about the way people look up to matousec.com and CLT - it's absolutely about YOU yourself testing it on a domain for yourself on a LAN network. ;)

edit:-

BTW, both matousec.com and the CLT do comprise of the inbound test.

[Tunerz]

@dcs18

If possible, can you guide me in testing Comodo's inbound protection? :P

BTW

Matousec and CLT doesn't really do anything for inbound. I checked their tests and pretty much HIPS/outbound.

[myfeetstink]

.. have used Shields Up in past (first two tests/tabs)

[sanjoa]

Just switched to Comodo. It is better and faster than Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro!

EDIT: Post number 1000 :w00t:

[*dcs18]

@ myfeetstink

Contrary to Tunerz' belief, the Shields on CLT dates as far back as 2008 - I can also prove to him that matousec.com actually checks for inbound firewall testing and not only for HIPS/outbound (don't want to let the topic drift, though.) ;)

@dcs18

If possible, can you guide me in testing Comodo's inbound protection? :P

Since your only concern is about 'inbound' traffic, let's leave out the 'outbound' configurations:-

01.) <double click the> COMODO tray icon >>----> <click> Firewall >>----> <click> Stealth Ports Wizard

02.) I prefer to completely stealth my ports - you could try any of the following 3 options based on your personal preference

If you want to put your personal configuration of the 'inbound' traffic through COMODO to the test, you can always check the logs for your connections as per the following illustration (I have not posted mine as a matter of privacy . . . . . . )

Thanks dsc18 & Marik for the nice update...;)

Thanks dsc18 & Marik for the nice update...;)

There is no update. And it's dcs18 and Bizarre™. Uncharacteristically, Bizarre™ has made quite a few mistakes today. :(

[Bizarre™]

@All:

I apologize for the blunder. It's an oversight on my part for not testing.

On my defense, however, I double checked both MD5 and SHA1.

They're all different than what is posted at COMODO forums.

If you want to know more, visit COMODO forums: Link

Regardless, to be on the safe side the listing has been reverted back to 5.0.162636.1135.

Of course it will change if COMODO has any say on the matter.

Uncharacteristically, Bizarre™ has made quite a few mistakes today. :(

And pray tell what these few mistakes today are?

The only blunder I will admit is for not testing this particular version of COMODO.
