Vista firewalls

Postby roadrunner on Fri Mar 30, 2007 4:16 pm

So...Zonealarm doesn't work under Vista...what are you Vista users out there using?

I tried the JetCo firewall...and man, that thing is annoying :evil:

It's options are "allow once" or "block once"...umm, how about a don't f'ing ask me 9,000,000 times when the same app keeps accessing the net and remember WTF I clicked!?!! :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

I'd like a firewall with both inbound AND outbound control...something, like, oh ZONEALARM. But ahem...

I'm not ready to make the jump to Vista, but I use COMODO Firewall Pro with XP... I don't think it is ready for Vista yet, but v3.0 of it is supposed to be in the works for sometime in April... though it usually gets delayed. I do prefer Comodo over Sunbelt KPF and ZoneAlarm.

What's wrong with Vista's firewall? Given, it can be annoying but it does inbound and outbound.

Is there an easy way to configure Vista's firewall for outbound control? I'd like it pop up and ask "do you want to allow <program> to access the net" kinda thing.

I know you can go in and block everything, but then if you want to give an app access it's a pain in the butt.

Is there maybe a front-end floating around?
