Windows Forum / Windows 98 / General Topics / June 2007Firewall for Win98
Anyone know where I can get a firewall for Win98? Hello! > Anyone know where I can get a firewall for Win98? Look'n'Stop 2.06 was released a couple of days ago ... It supports even Windows 95: http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=175766 Regards, Roman Thanks Roman, very much appreciated. I rebooted my "old 98" last week after a few years and it still runs great but I had no ZoneAlarm firewall or any protection for it when on line. I have refurbished it for a friend as a gift but cannot let them use it on the web without a firewall. Thanks again, Bob - Gold Coast Australia. > Hello! > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Regards, Roman > Anyone know where I can get a firewall for Win98? I have used Kerio Personal 2.1.5 for five or six years. I like it because you specify the all rules in terms of ports, protocols, addresses, etc. With some work, you can find it with Google. > Anyone know where I can get a firewall for Win98? Running firewall software on any computer, especially win-98, is one of the most useless things you can do to bog your system down for no good reason. Anyone recommending firewall software to you should first ask you if you have a NAT-router. If you do, then it is acting as a firewall, a better firewall than a software firewall running on your computer. If you don't have a NAT-router between your computer and your modem (cable or DSL) then you are not putting the proper emphasis on your security situation because that is the first thing you should have. > Anyone know where I can get a firewall for Win98? Agnitum Outpost version 1, about 5 years old, works fine, no updates needed by definition (this IMHO applies to ALL firewalls). Router freaks - this is not an option available to everyone, for various reasons.  SignatureDisagreements and the usual insults expected and welcomed. |
