Windows firewall is useless.
Someone should write an open source firewall, I found a couple of
pieces of open source firewall code but they where really poor (one of
them crashed my computer), and I found an open source program
PeerBlock to be used to stop anti-copyright company's targeting your
file sharing, by blocking there IP address's (in both directions).
Its fast, efficient and has hardly any footprint but if it was
actually a full firewall it would be awesome, I would rather use a
small efficient open source program like this that I know I can count on.
Such a piece of software would be a great security enhancement to Tor.
Even just a small program to block all outgoing traffic to stop
programs from accessing the internet directly (which would also stop
virus's and Trojans).
When I used it I was amazed to see how many IP address's get accessed
without my knowledge, and how many other IPs that tried to access my
computer (all strange port numbers probably virus, trojan programs).
The NSA must have a hell of a job cos they dont even know if any of
these access's where even you or not.
Does anyone actually trust any of the commercial firewalls?
And why would anyone pay for a large slow, piece of software that
probably doesn't do a good job anyway and might have back doors?
