What types of Firewall(s) do you use?

Some use software, some use hardware firewalls, so what do you use?

 

Asking questions is one thing, asking questions is another thing.

Both

but Hardware Firewall are not that cheap and hard to update

 

Windows default firewall. One router firewall.

 

what is better NAT or VPN firewall

 

Windows wall and router firewall.

 

Just a router....

 

To ensure maximum security, it's important to always use a software firewall to accompany your hardware firewall (wireless or dedicated). If that router and/or a local computer on your network becomes compromised, you will be left defenseless. I use multiple nat routers. Refer to: https://www.grc.com/nat/nats.htm

 

So you're paranoid... that's ok, many people are..

 

I would suggest a software as well as a hardware. No more no less.

 

I guess I do have Win firewall enabled, so that's software. I have no concern for attempting to catch outbound traffic though. Haven't for many years now. No worries....

 

Gufw firewall for Linux.

 

I have no concerns about outbound either.

 

Just block all inbound for Home and public network with windows firewall and the router wall to on and your good to go.Keep it simple and light.

 

DefenseWall Personal Firewall

 

Both router and software. I have Look'n'Stop configured to work only for application filtering and Windows firewall to check for inbound.

 

Yep, you can say that again...

 

NAT wired router with LooknStop (Phant0m's ruleset).

Windows Firewall

 

Software FW...it depends what I need and...of my mood Sometime they are old, pure FW, and sometime FW with HIPS/BB.

 

Wireless Router with NAT Firewall only, it is more than enough to block open ports and unsolicited traffic.

 

Router with NAT/SPI Firewall

 

Windows FW + Linksys router -All I have used for years
