Need another Firewall
Dear Firewall Knowledgeable People (FKP),
I need another Firewall under WinXPproSP2 : 1. No Look'n'Stop 2. No Comodo Firewall 3. No ZoneAlarm 4. No Norton 5. Without Activation 6. As good as possible, but userfriendly or at least ready-to-use. 7. No combination with AV, AS, ... a pure Firewall (no blacklist thingies) 8. Free or paid, doesn't matter. 9. NO BETA Forgot the main thing : Thanks in advance

Re: Need another Firewall
What about the Windows Firewall? Sygate free?
There is also Kerio 2.1.5 but I dont know if it would fulfill your fourth condition.

Re: Need another Firewall
You didn't say "No beta" so I recommend you give a try to PCTools firewall 3.0.0.29 beta.
There is an extensive discussion thereof on THIS Wilders thread. Stem is in on that duiscussion. Good hunting!

Kerio 2.1.5 is great, I used it for many years but it's not compatible with Perfect Disk and I think Erik Albert is using Perfect Disk.

The first attempt of installing Sygate Firewall was a disaster, probably due to a previous install/uninstall of Sunbelt Firewall, but the second attempt was successfull. Sygate also survived in a frozen snapshot (-35°C), which is also a plus point ...... I mean a minus point ...... in a positive sense.  LnS, Sunbelt, Filseclab and Sygate had one thing in common : I got access to Wilders, which also indicates a compatibility with my router DI-604 and its new firmware v3.15.

Re: Need another Firewall
Eric
You might give Online Armor a try. If you don't like the HIPS part you can just disable it. With OA you can make it complex if you want, or fire it up and forget it. Also if you are not looking for outbound protection Ghostwall is fairly easy. Pete |

Aside from OP adding no beta (which anyone could have guessed was an inadvertent omission), PC Tools is a re-branded Look 'n Stop, and he did not want that one either. Nice try. The OP did not say which OS he is using. Are we all assuming its XP?

Re: Need another Firewall
Yes I have WinXPproSP2 and many thanks for the last suggestions.
I'm running now : 1. Look'n'Stop in my actual online-snapshot 2. Sunbelt Firewall in test-snapshot-3 3. Filseclab in test-snapshot-4 4. Sygate Firewall in test-snapshot-5 So I have still room for 5 other Firewalls. The final goal is like this : 1. On/Off-line Snapshot + Windows Firewall. That snapshot is always off-line, except when I have to upgrade/activate software. So this snapshot has always very short internet connections and isn't used for on-line activities. 2. On-line Snapshot + New Firewall That snapshot is the troublemaker and needs a better firewall. I don't really care if some infection passes through my firewall, because it will be considered as a CHANGE on my harddisk by FDISR and removed during the next reboot. If FDISR doesn't do the job, I still have a CLEAN archive and a CLEAN image to remove the infection(s). That's why I'm re-installing my computer from scratch to collect these CLEAN images and each image can be converted into a FDISR-archive as many times I want. Once I have these images/archives, I will use them only for restoration, not for daily backup. For daily backup, I have another group of images/archives, which I consider always as possible infected, because they have been on-line too long. My security isn't really based on security softwares, which I don't trust, they fail too much. My security is based on recovery softwares, which I do trust and they never failed until now.

Whoops... FDISR - Is that the Raxco product? Are those full disk images like Acronis, or something else. Ever think of trying Deep Freeze? It rolls the system back after a reboot.

I have space enough for FDISR. FYI, Raxco doesn't sell FDISR anymore, Horizon Datasys (RollbackRx) does. I replaced ATI with ShadowProtect. ATI too slow. The fastest backup utility is still FDISR (archives).

Re: Need another Firewall
Erik,
Give Outpost a home in one of those FD-ISR SS. I don't think you will be disappointed. It's super flexible, you can add or re-move / dis-able plug-ins. It's ready to roll out of the box. Easily configured if you have a network (I know, I know, you don't have a network) But I'm just saying. It's very easy yet a powerful piece of software. The only software it had an issue w/ was SpyWare Doctor. And that was only on one of my boxes. Never had issues w/ FD-ISR, ATI, ShadowProtect... Enough from me, just give it a shot. ...screamer

So I can test 10 different Firewalls on my computer at the same time, but I have to boot in each snapshot first. At this moment I have 4 different firewalls in 4 different snapshots If I don't want certain snapshots anymore on my harddisk[C:], but I like to keep them for later, I can archive these snapshots to my external harddisk and remove them from my harddisk[C:] and restore them later when I need them back. The number of archives is unlimited, the maximum number of bootable snapshots = 10. With FDISR you can store ANY SITUATION of your system partition, for any reason in an archive and call it back when you need it.
