Post subject: Internet Connection Security for Windows Users... Post
Just so you know, WinXP's built-in firewall does not attempt to manage or restrict outbound connections at all. It appears to be a useful firewall for hiding the machine from the Internet (it has "stealth mode" unsolicited packet handling), but you will still need to use a good third-party personal firewall if you wish to manage and control outbound connections from your system.


Many firewalls softwares claim to be the latest state-of-the-art, most secure and amazing things ever to grace your hard drive. But few actually are. Many are simply junk.

you can Test your firewall with LeakTest and also with ShieldsUP!

if the leaktest says unable to connect ,you passed the test .
then try shieldsUP .

I have one of the oldest firewalls known. ONLY someone that was into fighting Internet security early in the ways with Rob, would still remember it. It's loved in that community.

Needless to say, even the modern tests couldn't penetrate it. I'm not surprised, I know well about it before money 'n' marketing took over this field too.

Simple, light, intuitive, effective and vastly customizable.
