Great firewall. Especially when its free! Installed it the other day.
Tested it at grc.com. Just by dialling from this PC.
It passed. Without me, having to change anything.
I also tested this PC when connected to the main PC at grc.com. It also passed.
With Zonealarm, I always had to change a few settings, in order to pass at grc.com (when I’m using the other PC to connect to the net).
Previously, I was using Zonealarm, but it didnt really block all ports by default. I usually had to change a few settings under programs, before the grc.com site detected everything as stealth. (There was always a port open using ZA, when I went thru the other PC).
I also used to use Norton Internet Security, BUT it installs too much bloatware.
And was a memory hog. Altho, I didnt really notice this bit running 1 GB of ram. The only thing with Nortons (well on the other PC here), was it was hard to remove it completely.
Even tho, I had removed it completely, XP SP2 and some other programs (like IM programs), were still using it as its default scanner! (Even tho it wasn’t installed).
At first, it was a bit hard to configure the Comodo firewall, since we’re on a LAN.
BUT, after I found the right option (the Trusted Zone Wizard), it was sweet as! I got this PC going thru the main computer, with ICS and file sharing working.
Good job guys!
