[QUOTE="Marana, post: 1091874, member: 69370"] Well, first of all I prefer to use primarily native MS products, especially those that are built-in into Windows operating system, and I also had used Windows Firewall and WFC long before starting to play around with CFW, so my software firewall configuration is based on primarily Windows Firewall. I also like WFC's user interface and some of its "bells and whistles" a lot. However I consider CFW to provide me with some layered security as well as some additional features like containment and script analysis that Windows Firewall does not have. CFW also seems to run smoothly along with Windows Firewall, causing no problems whatsoever. So why not use it? Hmm... this is interesting! I wasn't aware of this feature, and it doesn't seem to be available in my CFW's user interface. Maybe it's available only in the full CIS? I have installed only the CFW part. Anyway, I'll keep that in mind, and I might give it a try some day. Yeah, I actually borrowed the idea of implementing 802.1X from the office where we used device certificates to protect devices on some VLANs. I consider it merely a nuance in home use, where the threat factors are somewhat different from those of businesses. But anyway, at least I don't have to worry about someone cracking my WiFi password in the home VLAN, since there is no password! :)(y) [/QUOTE]
