    Suggestion for Firewall?


    Hi,
    I'd like to know if there's any firewall similar to ZoneAlarm which I've used in the past with Windows 7 Ultimate (currently it is incompatible with Windows 10 and I'm not willing to install any ZoneAlarm beta software). I miss that feature in ZoneAlarm when I'm notified about outgoing connections. Is there any way to control outbound connections on Windows 10?
    Cheers

    :)

    Suggestion for NSU

    I was originally running 1.00.87 version of NSU. Then when starting to update another device my NSU gave me notification during start-up that newer 1.00.88 is available, would I like to install - so it seems that whenever you start NSU it checks if new
    version is available. NOKIA must have read your mind already during the development of NSU .-)

    Comodo firewall has you covered and it's free. And it has options to bug you about every single connection wanting to connect.

    I haven't used a software firewall for several years since the advent of broadband and routers with built in firewalls. Doesn't your router have firewall protection?

    It's not a good idea to rely on the router firewall alone, I'll refer you to this thread with a handful of reasons why, one of which I've quoted.

    You can rely on the windows firewall if you like, the windows 7 firewall has some surprisingly good results.

    Comodo is a good, thorough firewall. Just be aware that it has many, many settings & configurations. If you would like to investigate it further, you can find the user manual here to peruse & decide if it is right for you.

    I use Tinywall and PeerBlock a good combination. One stops processes, the other block IP and ports. Not for beginners, its takes a bit to setup properly. Both compatible with anything, including, Comodo.
