Which firewall do you use?

OldMagicfloat · Apr 27, 2004

Other than norton's, what other good firewalls are out there.

I've used pc cillin, and zone alarm. I'd like to find an "easy to setup" firewall.

zone alarm - it's a little complex but is very comprehensive and highly functional.

I know it takes time to tune but it's very robust for the money.

Well considering I am a techy, I use a PIX 501. There is nothing better than a Hardware firewall. they are not that expensive and I have no worrys

Im using Blueice and sonicwall. The sonicwall can be a pain.

H20skibumn, you're right about the Pix501 - you can get one for as little as $400 - sometimes less on ebay.

A hardware firewall is the only way to go!

Sygate, Personal Firewall Pro ($47.95)
Easy to load, easy to set up.

This firewall has saved my butt several times.

I guess its being in the business, but I use a Cisco PIX 501 at home as well. Software firewalls just don't cut it, though I do keep one dormant on my laptop for times I have to connect to a raw ISP..

That Cisco PIX 501 is a nice stand-alone system.
A bit pricey for my taste ($350+ internet price).

I'll stick to what I have.
