Filtering capibilities

Hello!
I need a firewall for my win xp (just a lightweight packet filter! no hips firewalls and all in 1 products ) and i was wondering wich firewall has better filtering capibilities (and a good SPI implementation) ?

Thanks in advance.

 

Try SoftPerfect Personal Firewall, it is highly customizable.

Somewhere else on this forum - don't ask me where- there is a thread that concludes with the Windows XP (properly configured, especially when wireless) providing good inbound protection.

Outbound protection is a different matter.

 

Build-in firewall can filter packets pretty well. What kind of filtering do you need and what do you expect from SPI ?

 

I don't need any kind of specific filtering.I just want a decent TCP/UDP/ICMP filtering as well as a decent SPI(one that does a proper job.i don't have the knowledge to get in technical stuff about it).

I have just read Stem tutorial wich is pretty awsome (thanks JRViejo for posting the link) and i think i will go with the windows built-in firewall, its probably enough for what i need.

Thanks everyone for the help.

 

if u just want a simple and extremely effective firewall i strongly suggest Look n Stop firewall.
