Best Firewall with Wsa

Hello,

I am using Wsa Complete , there is a Firewall in it but do i need a other Firewall with it so yes what is the best free one the or is it enough with the windows 7 firewall.
I hope you people can help me.

Greats,

Windows 7 to block all incoming and WSA for network monitoring and outbound control should be more then enough.

 

It works perfectly with Outpost Pro here.

 

Agree, using the same.

 

as others said it is enough with win7 ....besides you're already getting wsa good fw.......otherwise privatefirewall from privacyware.com is very good at running along with wsa and very solid fw......

 

I agree Windows Firewall and WSA-E or WSA-C is enough! I use Look'n'Stop as I had that since 2005 and it works very well with WSA-E! So it's up to you what you would like to use!

Hello,

I'm trying the Privatefirewall 7 but is the basic setting enough or do i need too change anything in the program settings?
I hope for a answer back.

Greats,

OA free works well with WSA essentials.

 

I can definitively say Privatefirewall 7 works very well with WSA complete on my Win7 64bit setup.Plenty of customization options too if you are tech saavy.A great alternative to using the Windows firewall along with WSA

 

And how is it with the Comodo free Firewall then?

 

Another opinion for the windows firewall, great combo for me , besides I am already paying for the firewall in WRSA so why pay for two?

 

My choice on xp and vista is, wsa-basic and defensewall personal firewall, a great pair of giants.

 

I had no problems running the WSA and Comodo firewalls together and that was with Defense+ enabled and configured for Proactive Security.

 

Personally, I just use the Windows firewall with WSA under a router. The last time I used a 3rd party firewall was probably 2004 and I haven't found a need for one since.

 

Someone might think this is a silly question - but I would like to know.

What exactly does running windows firewall (xp) add to security besides running WSAE.

Thanx in advance /SwedenXP

 

The WSA firewall doesn't replace the Windows XP firewall. It supplements it by adding outbound application control. Inbound protection is still provided by the Windows XP firewall so you should leave it turned on.

 

Aha - so there is no inbound protection in WSAE...?

 

That's my understanding. Webroot have built a firewall augmenter, not a replacement.

 

Svedenxp, perhaps you can find some more informations about the firewall in wsa here.

Swedenxp, Sorry for the missing w ...

 

There's no need for an additional inbound firewall on top of the Windows firewall with WSA's protection over it.
