Pay a few bucks and get Black ice..works great for me

I use Sygate Personal Firewall after having too many problems with ZA's vector crashing all the time..
It's great, and keeps me in stealth mode all the time and very customizable

Black Ice was proven to be a total piece of useless shit years ago in the labs... where have you been?

Get a hardware firewall.

i also use Sygate and a router and that keeps me sort of safe i guess.

NOPE BlackIce is crap.. You better do some reading up on software firewalls. BlackIce was the 1st one I bought, then Norton (which is good) but ZoneAlarm kicks ass. I will repeat, BlackIce is crap. I would also get a Router.

Amp is correct.

script kiddies that distribute SubSeven and other zombie trojans to build their dos armies love Black Ice.... lol

I run both a hardware and software firewall. Linksys router with hardware firewall and Zone Alarm Pro for software

Yep what I do also.

and I should have said shit still gets through.

I'd stay away from zone alarm because of that vector problem that crashes the computer. I tried every possible fix that I saw reccomended and couldnt fix it. Finnaly had to just cut my losses and get rid of it.

Yes, Zonealarm is the best software solution...

Check here for some info..

All that for your home computer??

Fuck!

**Amputate Your Head** · 08-12-2003, 06:15 PM

I use only Linksys hardware configured for DHCP that rotates my actual IP twice daily.... seems to be plenty.

I stopped using software firewalls a few years ago. Running both is overkill and interferes too much with normal operations.

**Arty** · 08-12-2003, 06:26 PM

My current solution for home is the using a FreeBsd server for connection sharing with it's ipnat firewall..

Works great so far..

I'd have to agree with amp, but would add to it by recommending both the hardware and software firewall setup...

**SicChild** · 08-12-2003, 06:42 PM

Black Ice detects what's going on, but doesn't do shit to stop it.

**EyesUnseen** · 08-12-2003, 06:44 PM

Zone alarm / linksys router......

ZoneAlarm still the best?
