Wondering if anyone is using this free firewall: http://sphinx-soft.com/firewall/order.html Very light. No idea whether it offers outbound protection or not. Cheers.
I have not used this firewall much (no real testing), but here are some pics:- Alert given for firefox access:-
S-Wall contains content filtering, but on the default setting it appears that ALL content is being filtered/blocked,..... no web pages are displayed.
Please note Those of you who have NOD32 installed. S-Wall makes alterations to the LSP. This is not a problem on installation, as NOD does change the settings for IMON,..... but,..... on uninstalling S-Wall all LSP entries for NOD32 are removed,... and NOD will fail to startup.
Hi Stem, Thx a lot for your review. Very nice, BTW, has anyone tested this firewall at firewallleaktester? Cheers, G.
I am not sure if there is any reason to test this firewall against leaktests. The "free" version is a simple TCP/IP filter firewall,.. it would intercept applications direct internet access, but as for injection/memory mods, indirect internet access etc, no, there is no inclusion to intercept this kind of access that I could see. I can re-install later, to check, if this is something that really needs to be seen/confirmed
fails trustealth analysis @ grc.com no ports open, ports 445 and 439 stealthed, rest are closed. anyone know how I can stealth all ports with this firewall.
