You can also use it to specify a limited number of ports that you want an application to run on. Great for applications that open up a load of ports when you only want to make a couple available. It also works well if you are providing nat from the dial up machine.
If you have a spare machine though I would recommend using smoothwall http://www.smoothwall.org Its a great GPL firewall built on a linux kernel, offering integrated USB ADSL support, Intrusion detection (snort) webcache (squid) and VPN tunnels all through a web based interface.

This will help until you get some dedicated bandwidth, then investing in a dedicated firewall. So, are you using dialup RAS and etrn with your exch ims? cheers.byron -----Original Message----- From: Ian Gomeche [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2001 10:50 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: zone alarm personal firewall i am sure that this has been discussed before , but has anyone any views on the personal firewall zone alarm?. i am not connected to a network and have dial up access to my ISP and will have until our exchange is upgraded to handle broadband in december 2002. i am currently using the free basic zone alarm product which i quite like. is it any good though? also , what benefit would there be in upgrading to the professional version which costs 40 dollars ? thanks ian _______________________________________________ Firewalls mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnac.net/mailman/listinfo/firewalls _______________________________________________ Firewalls mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnac.net/mailman/listinfo/firewalls ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
