There are quite a few firewalls available for Windows XP. I consider Jetico Personal Firewall to be the best, however, it's rather complex. Several popular firewalls are reviewed below, with a preference toward free firewalls.
Several factors are considered in judging whether a firewall is acceptable. One is leak testing: how easily programs already on your computer can circumvent the firewall's protection. More importantly, the security of the firewall from outside sources is considered.
I use this criteria:
- Strength against Leak Tests:
- Port Stealthing:
