I'm adding a "Most Have Software" area to my site and would need to know what firewall most of you are using and how much you paid for it?

If you already have a ref code add it here and I may sign up under you.

Linksys Etherfast Firewall Router would be the most popular, and is what I use..

you should use a combination of hardware and software firewalls. today's "firewalls" you buy at best buy, like the linksys, dlink, and _most_ netgear (besides the prosafe vpn models) use NAT as their firewall. not very firewally, but it generally deters amateurs. it's been well proven they can get through. the prosafe uses stateful packet inspection. really want security on an affordable basis? get a sonicwall.

i use sygate for the software end, also have been impressed with symantec and mcafee. i'd probably stick with symantec and sygate. and if you can afford it, the symantec hardware firewall ;P

i use the software you can find at agnitum.com iv done a lot of screwing with windows networking, seems to be the best software end. if you build a firewall and all that shit hardwarewise, your wasting your time, youll spend half your time getting it all set up, and the other half applying patchs, there is ALWAYS a way through. less things to exploit.

My OS has a reliable, relatively strong firewall built in.

Now, there's a Saturday morning computer talk show on the radio here, and they were pretty much laughing at the idea of having both a router AND a software firewall like ZoneAlarm. Could they be stupid?

I'd agree with the router firewall from linksys we've had no problems, some 'net games the kids cannot play, but other than that, everything works, they can kazza etc, just no one can download files from them

I hate firewalls. And I hate IWF, idiots with firewalls. Most of the firewalls out there are configured too strict and we get complaints at work from time to time from IWF with a NON issue.

Agreed. I've been using ZoneAlarm's free firewall for a long time, quite complete for most users. Unless you love to get into the absolute nitty-gritty of your firewall, zonealarm's should suffice.

I use a Netgear FVS318 firewall/router as well as running BlackIce Defender(software). For a long time I used only the software firewall, but I wanted to hook up multiple machines to my DSL so the hardware router was the way to go. SInce hooking the router up, I still run the BlackIce software, but it rarely alarms anymore. The firewall/router is doing its job.

I tried ZoneAlarm, but it seemed to slow my machine down.
