Wilders Firewall Poll – 2012

None software firewall and a router with a simple NAT firewall is good enough for me.

 

TinyWall

 

Currently using DefenseWall, but when I "occasionally" change my setup I like to throw on Look'n'Stop.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, Wireless Router with NAT and a hardware firewall. (AlphaShield)

 

I use Online Armor for most of my machines. I also have a Netgear Prosecure UTM25 so I needed a good FW for outbound protection which is why I choose Online Armor. Online Armor also is the most user friendly of all the strong HIPS firewalls I have tried. Which is all of them. I also have Look 'N' Stop installed on 2 machines, but they may change if the developer remains missing.

 

Router with NAT Firewall and Comodo firewall occasionally

 

LnS is simply the best

 

Linksys router, Webroot SecureAnywhere Complete, and Windows Firewall.

I didn't see the "router" choice until after I'd voted though...

 

I thought about adding one of those to my setup as well back in the day. I'd love to hear any impressions on it.
