Im currently behind a router and using windows xp sp2. Can anyone recommend a light firewall free or paid that will provide outbound protection? I have quite a good knowledge of creating rules etc so that wont be a problem.
Free Application Firewalls Kerio 2.1.5 – download version 2.1.5 Jetico Version 1 Sygate free – enquire for opinions on best release Online Armor free Comodo 3.0 w/HIPS or Comodo 2.4 w-out/HIPS scroll down for version 2.4 Webroot Desktop Firewall PC Tools Firewall Plus Zone Alarm free The first three listed are probably the lightest. When I get time I'll submit a list of paid firewalls. This free list is by no means complete either, but it should get you started.

Cheers mate. Ive narrowed your list down to: Outpost Pro 2008 Look n Stop 2.06 Jetico v2 Kerio 2.1.5 Sygate Free OA Free Comodo 3.0 Im going to be testing these out.
Hello, Light ones but not necessarily easy-to-configure ones: Sygate, Kerio 2.1.5, Jetico, LnS, CHX... Mrk
I would say all application based firewall : Online Armor ( you can by default settings allow automatically network access to a trusted prog), Zone Alarm, Kerio 2 & 4, nearly all firewall integrated in a Security suite. MaB
Hello, Sygate, Kerio are easy to configure - relatively. Kerio 2.1.5 is the good ole workhorse. Kerio 4 is the new version ... So, the choice is entirely yours. Mrk
Cheers mate. Ive decided on Outpost Pro 2008 for one machine and Look n Stop with Phantom's ruleset for my machine.
