Sygate Personal Firewall was made of win and good (and completely free) until fucking Symantec bought it out and killed it. www.oldversion.com FTW.

None. why should I?
No running services = no open ports.

Which is exactly the ONLY purpose of a personal firewall.

don't mix up those personal firewalls with real ones.
REAL firewalls are a concept and not a single program. they include port-filters, packet-filters, content-filters, ...

netlimiter 2 pro is what i use when i need a process-based firewall on windows (prevents windows from calling home nicely and way better than zonealarm)
i'm setting up a linux system as a internet gateway, and i'll be using iptables/route all that good stuff when i learn how

I also use the old version of Sygate for Windows. Otherwise it's just OS X's built-in firewall. I wish it had more features like Little Snitch though.

Uh, isn't that the whole point of a firewall? Sygate defaults to "ask about something I haven't seen before, or that has changed since I last saw it" rather than taking matters into its own hands. And it shows every process that is accessing (or trying to access) the internet and allows you to change its permissions at a click. I like knowing exactly what my firewall is up to and having that level of control.

jetico pf for outbound. saved me from a password trojan once. all router protection is the same.
I imported a Japanese router. It's a bitch to configure because it's all in Japanese, but it's the very best quality, I believe it makes my anime torrents go faster.

something ironic about cracking something to use as a firewall...

None here also. Connection goes trough 2 routers which do adequate job at keeping anything out that's not supposed to come in and keeping anything that's not supposed to go out from doing just that is easy.
>>23
not really. i trust cracks with my security software, so long as I know what the sauce is and other people have experience with it.
besides: ZA doesn't need to be cracked - serialed. Might as well be freeware, for all the shit is.

56K IS BEST FIREWALL
NOBODY HACKS A 56K

That's actually not true, I've had my ISP account stolen before. 56k is safer though because it uses a dynamic IP and you should be safe while you are offline, but
