Zone Alarm security suite and Belkin 54g 7k series router. HOWEVER.. I just removed ZASS and am trying Symantecs new Internet security suite. I uninstalled ZASS because of performance issues with my ISP. My download speed was upped to 4mbps but ZA capped it at 2k. Only removing ZA would my speed go to 4. I just put NISS on and so far, I'm not happy. It pops up for everything over and over, even if you tell it "it's ok, calm down".. Speed? Well it seems to be at the 3.3mbps level. I like the all in one package and dump usless spybot and ad aware. Hate to admit it but Microsofts antispyware software found more stuff then both the other 2 combined. I'm about to move to Sygate pro for my software firewall but I wanted something to stop all popups, banners, rouge programs from getting out incase I downloaded something I didn't know about. ZASS seemed to do it all. But I still ran NAV and not ZASS virus engine. Looking at the abilities of everything out there, looks like ZASS is the best overall but I don't like the speed issue. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13214637 Wed, 20 Apr 2005 02:02:44 EDT Re: The Security Firewall Poll - 2004 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13051183 trickyrick : * Voted: Hardware router and software firewall

then i have all my passes for what to allow, and at the very end for everything that didn't apply i have my 2 rules that catch whatever is left...so basically i have specific blocks and passes for things i want logging to be done differently, and if a packet doesn't fall into my specific pass or block then it falls into my block policy which is drop, apply to both inbound and outbound
##Block anything that didn't apply above
block in log on $ext_if
block out log on $ext_if
inside firewall/router is a bit more extreme on the rules as it's the point that connects my bridged/firewalled server dmz(all servers receive static routeable ip from my block of ip addresses, but still receive filtering/scrubbing/etc from the openbsd machines infront of them) and also routing for my main nat network that also has 2 binat(aka 1:1 nat) addresses mapped back to 2 specific workstations. also snort is run from this machine along with other linux and bsd* machines that have their own snort running aswell....all machines have their own netfilter iptables or pf firewall aswell as a last line

hm, bit long of a post it seems since I posted examples of how strict you can make your *bsd pf rules, btw pf is now contained on freebsd 5.3-release if anyone was interesting in checking it out without having to jump over to openbsd, even though I highly recommend checking out openbsd :D

What are you "scrubbing" inbound and outbound on your external layer 2 box, and how are you doing IDS on the internal one? Snort on BSD? Or is it on a seperate Linux box?

Nice setup, btw. :) Refreshing.

It's mostly for corporate setups, but there are SOHO setups available as well.

Also note that this is the company that just bought Zone Alarm, so you'll probably being hearing the name more and more. On the corporate side they have a product called Integrity that basically does everything we discuss here: AV and spyware checks, firewall policy, the works. It's a product for ensuring that users' computers are clean before allowing them onto the corporate network, and it's a product built using the Zone Alarm technologies.

I'd say we can expect to see similar integration coming to the home side as well - even more than exists today.

I would never run a software firewall on my W98SE box. It is protected only by my router and it never goes on dial up if Road Runner goes down because it is now networked to my XP box. Before I got the XP box, I had the 98SE box tied down so tight it needed no router or software firewall. I had to loosen everything to network it.

I run ICF on the XP box only for the purpose of using that box if I have to go on dialup. I'm probably going to unnetwork them and tie them both down tightly so I don't need to ever think of using a software firewall even for dialup as I hate them with a passion. I'd like to tie them down so that I don't need the router either. The router is a hassle. Any voltage dip (no matter how slight and fleeting) knocks the router off even though it is on a UPS.

The router: Linksys BEFW1154 Wireless Access Point
Router
I've had a laptop where I've used this for the wireless connection. But now that I've given the laptop to my brother, and I've used this as a router.

The software firewall: Outpost Pro 2.5
Outpost Pro 2.5 has the best extensive logging options I've seen with any firewall. And when I say the best, I mean that it does what I want in the layout and style that I like.

Outpost Pro 2.5 also provides component control and hidden process control where it allows you to block the hidden processes of a program from going out to the internet while allowing the main program access. These are just a few examples of what Outpost Pro can do.

Outpost Pro also allows you to really go down to the nuts and bolts of firewall protection, giving you full control of whats going on, or you can choose Outpost Pro to do it for you.

And Outpost is secure enough to pass any tests I throw at it.

So far the only thing that I don't like is the system tray icon. Its sort of unused because the tooltip only shows the networks its protecting. I think it could also show something else to make it more usefull, maybe like bytes received or whatever.

But this is too picky of a request considering everything else that is doing.

But a very awesome firewall, love it.

However, when I do port scans(here and grc.com) I get the the same results whether I'm behind my router(BelkinF5D-5230) or not. After a little experimentation I've found out my ISP's dsl modem has NAT, so I don't feel I need the router(because my ISP and their modem's NAT) but I use it anyway to hook up all my boxen. (OT-I'm thinking one's ISP may affect how one sets up ones security. Very curious to know if ISP's make a difference to others -maybe a new thread?):)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11971127 Sat, 27 Nov 2004 22:16:30 EDT Re: The Security Firewall Poll - 2004 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11971128 NanDog : I'm behind my Linksys BEFSX41 and NIS2003 (along with AdAwareSEPlus, SpyBot, SpyWareBlaster, TrojanHunter, IESpyAd and other tools/utilities such as ProcessExplorer, BelarcAdvisor and the like!)

The FAQ here: »Security »Which firewall should I use? - should point you to both polls posted in 2001, and another in 2002. So, here's a brand-new, out-of-the-box Firewall poll .. 2004!

I'll pretty much quote Wildcatboy See Profile from here:

If your option is not there, choose other. If your situation is unique, then you figure it out yourself. :)

Just don't forget to post and explain things. If you are voting "other" tell us what. If you use a router, then you may want to let us know which brand. If you pick "a router and a software firewall", then let us know which, etc... You get the drift.
The last firewall Poll had 2376 votes. Let's see how many votes we can pile up and how long we can get this thread up for all to see.

[poll]What kind of firewall / Intrusion detection System do you use?,Windows Firewall,Zone Alarm,Zone Alarm Pro,Kerio Personal firewall,Tiny Personal Firewall,SOHO,Symantec Norton Personal Firewall,Sygate / Sygate Pro,AtGuard,Conseal,Outpost,Look'n'Stop,McAfee,Lockdown 2000,Black Ice IDS,Snort IDS,A software firewall and an IDS,Just a NAT capable router,A router and a software firewall,A proxy Server,*NiX flavoured,Proxy server / router /software,Others,None[/poll]
Thank you for participating in this poll/thread.
