Well, because first of all, most of them are bluff.
They let any questionable traffic through and you don't get the
security out of it as you think you do. Secondly, all of them
have their strong points and weak points.
So, I run 2 firewalls on my box. The number one is my own,
which is a monitoring firewall. Meaning, I can see ANY funky
network traffic. NOTHING escapes me. There is no firewall
I know of that can do that kind of thing, even though I did
not look at the firewall market for a couple of years.
Have you tried peerguardian?
Nope. What is that?
Uses p2p block list, and you get connections to your computer - you can
block them or do what you like.
I see. Well, I have everything I need in my firewall.
These are called rules, and I can have as many as I want.
Takes a couple of mouse clicks to create a new one or modify
and existing one even in the middle of heavy duty attack.
Pretty flexible.
But thanx for your feedback.
If you think it is something really cool and you can post a link
to it, I promise to look at it.
