[QUOTE="ichito, post: 862059, member: 15835"] Actually it's hard to agree...in this article [I]"A History and Survey of Network Firewalls"[/I] we can see that otbound traffic is...rather was in the past...as important as inbound. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.cs.unm.edu/~treport/tr/02-12/firewall.pdf[/URL] The fact that MS was not smart but maybe to lazy releasing own firewall later than 3rd developers (2004) and it offered inbound traffic controll only can't be the base to discuss what firewalls mean. Kerio on my XP informes in his manual "[SIZE=4][B]Kerio Personal Firewall 2.1 User's Guide Kerio Technologies[/B] Copyright © 1997-2002 Kerio Technologies. All Rights Reserved.[/SIZE] (...) [I]Kerio Personal Firewall[/I] is a small and easy to use system designed for protecting a personal computer against hacker attacks and data leaks." and similar words we could find in guides of other personal firewalls from that times. Here are another examples - two article on Symantec pages from 2003 [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.symantec.com/connect/articles/home-user-security-your-first-defense[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.symantec.com/connect/articles/home-user-security-personal-firewalls[/URL] They were much wiser than MS :) [/QUOTE]
