sotong168: If you have 3rd party firewall, i.e.: ZA..it will automatically disable the built in Windows Firewall..if not, better disable it to avoid conflicts
Hardware firewall?..it doesn't hog your system resources..just your connection speed  |

QUOTE(GameSky @ Sep 6 2006, 10:01 AM) ZA seems not popular now...and I also don't like the software now too..since the startup takes some time ...and I need to wait around 1-3 mins before I can start my work sygate firewall is simple & free.  ...anyway...what other firewall software you guys using...and whats your guys recommendation? I've tested Outpost..but...damn, too much rules to set ...and the interface it's not really friendly  |

Lol! I switched from Sygate to Outpost after sUBs ask me to change...
 rofl xD Anyhow I do feel that outpost blocks more attacks then sygate... or maybe it's just me  My sygate didn't detect DCOM attacks... |

Outpost Firewall sure protects me a lot...better than bloated ZoneAlarm...
only the bad side is, new user will easily get confused with the configuration |

There's sure no which one is better than the other one. tat will depends on what firewall, every firewall has its own setting style but most firewalls I tried can auto detect the "safe zone", which should allow those connected to the network to get to the gateway?? It all depends on the user itself, thou sometimes performance wise there might be a slight difference. |

Yeah, I tried outpost firewall too, but I found myself changing back to zonealarm not long later.only the bad side is, new user will easily get confused with the configuration It's because outpost firewall isn't that friendly compare to zonealarm, hard to understand and configure.. |

Yeah, I had my hard times configuring it for my online game... It's because outpost firewall isn't that friendly compare to zonealarm, hard to understand and configure.. It's not user friendly, esp for newbies. But not long after that things turn out easier. |
