I use Online Armour Free behind a router but not because I don't trust the SPI firewall in the router. I just like being able to easily see which programs are currently using the internet and how much they are using. Since I run as an Admin, I like that OA Free provides an easy way to run my browsers and email client as a "limited user." |

replying for choosing "other" since SmoothWall is not listed 
yeah, it is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance that you install on a dedicated machine... it doesn't need to be fancy... a 500mhz PIII with 512M of RAM and a 6Gig drive can easily protect many machines  |

What disappointed me so much in Sygate was that they proudly announced that they had no intention of ever fixing that gigantic hole. They seemed to be proud of that huge vulnerability. It was at that point I knew I would never recommend it to anyone. I think they could not fix the hole without a total rewrite and there again...very scary thing for a firewall to have been designed in such a way that it would have such a glaring problem.

Unfortunately the loopback issue with Sygate was never resolved before they went down. This means that Sygate will let out anything going through a local proxy without a prompt. No local proxy then you should be ok. 5.6.2808 ver is most available. Have used other versions 2818 and 3304 and 3311, but went back to 2808 as it seems stable.
However, I am uncertain how this loopback issue affects newer antivirus programs that may use this method in their design. Maybe someone more knowing than I can chime in. |

I have many computers here, however, only three have s/w firewalls -- all are behind the router. I voted "router with s/w firewall."

Router for two desktops. One only uses Windows XP Firewall in addition, the other uses Comodo v3. Laptop also uses Comodo v3, but does not connect to router all the time. |
