Packet-filtering software firewall for Windows Server 2008

Posted by ejhay0101, 08-24-2011, 10:54 PM

Hi Everyone, I'm looking for new software firewall for Windows Server 2008 with the same features of Visnetic which is a packet filtering software firewall since deerfield has ceased the development of Visnetic firewall some bugs are detected when using it to Windows Server 2008. Any software firewall that can you recommend?

Actually, the native firewall in Windows Server 2008 is much improved from Windows Server 2003 and allows for very fine grain rule settings. Don't go by what you see from the Control Panel. Head over to Administrative Tools --> Windows Firewall with Advanced Settings. It's a much different world (though you have to have the Windows Firewall on to see all the new rules).

Consider going for a true hardware solution?
