No Software Firewall can ever replace a Hardware Firewall. I configure the one in my router.
How ya doing, buddy? |

If you need application-level control, I'd grudgingly use Kerio as well. I dropped it because it was an insane resource hog on my system, but it was still better than ZoneAlarm or the Windows Firewall.
To T1249: Out of the box, most routers are configured quite well enough for home networks, just so long as you encrypt the traffic with WPA (if it's wireless) and change the default admin username/password. It'll hide ports, control access, and everything else that's needed automatically. There's nowhere I can't reach. |

I never did figure out exactly why it was happening except that it was (even survived an uninstall/reinstall), and since I don't need application-level control (over the years I've actually gotten to the point where, between Open-Source software and shelling out cash, I own all software on my system), I just dropped it entirely.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
