    I just put Comodo back on my box, after using SKPF twice in a month (very high RAM usage, plus it failed PCFlank's leak test).

    Will it still firewall my system if I go to a wireless connection??

    Do not know of any reason it would not. It should see a wireless NIC in the same way it would see a wired NIC. Actually any firewall should. The real threat exists in the signal being sent between the PCs` NIC and your access point. That is where the proper setting up of the connection comes into play. Strong password to protect access to the AP as well as WPA set up with a strong pass phrase (63 mixed character is preferred if supported by your hardware).

    It is a software firewall, it should be able to filter any IPv4 type tcp/ip connection, while I don't run this firewall I run another software firewall, and get my internet from my cellphone.
