Default Cheap PC firewalls


Does anyone know of any relatively cheap, unobtrusive, PC-based firewalls?

Kerio Personal Firewall.

Hard to beat for cheap - it's free.

For a single machine, or a network?

I'm impressed with Sygate.
I've used an earlier, slightly-crippled rendition bunded
with System Suite. The current free version is more capable.
It seems safe, fast, well-designed, and thorough.

If you want a proper standalone firewall protecting your network then
take a look at www.smoothwall.org. Easy to setup, administer, secure and
update.

What are Software Patents for?
To protect the small enterprise from bigger companies.

What do Software Patents do?
In its current form, they protect only companies with
big legal departments as they:
a.) Patent everything no matter how general
b.) Sue everybody. Even if the patent can be argued
invalid, small companies can ill-afford the
typical $500k cost of a law-suit (not to mention
years of harassment).

Don't let them take away your right to program
whatever you like. Make a stand on Software Patents
before its too late.
