Kerio Personal Firewall, Thu Oct 17 2002

I like this product. It has a nice interface, is easy to use, detects a variety ofincoming and outgoing suspicious events. You can Permit or Deny one time, or tell it to make arule to permit or deny always. It has separate permission for "access the internet" and for "start another program". It is a direct descendent of Tiny Person Firewall, which was well-regarded. I think it's just as good as ZoneAlarm.

Kerio Personal Firewall, Mon Jan 27 2003
Reviewed By: Gotisch

Well, as a hacker just installed a FTP on my nice WINXP workstation and just wanted to gain Admin rights, i thought it might be time to get a firewall :D. I used Zone Alarm some month before the even but it looks to childish and takes a lot of resources.

However:
KPF is splitted into 2 parts
1. the Firewall
and
2. The Firewall Admin
Together they take about 9MB Ram.
The firewall blocked all access from the hacker who scanned me a second time (lol).
The learnbydoing feeling of the firewall. (you open a new programm and the firewall asks if the programm can access the internet) makes the Firewall really easy to use.

Im sure by defining some rules a better way i could even increase the security but as far as i am concerned.

IT WORKS :)

The Firewall for me, Thu Aug 21 2003
Reviewed By: David Paul

Small, effective
I like Kerio because it "learns" and for more familiar users, you can create "rules". I ran it for a while, learned how it works, and the set up the rules.

I have two browsers (Opera and MSIE5) and I've set it up so that only these two programs can access the internet (other than the start-up programs such as DNS). After setting it up, I asked KPF not to warn me about port scans. Went to Shields Up to check on KPF activity, and I'm done.

It works perfectly, it's fast, it's free and I'm more than happy!

I just wanted to add..., Thu Nov 20 2003

A couple things that convinced me to go with Kerio is:

1) You can download preset rules/filters that will protect your pc depending on your level of paranoia of security requirements.

2) It plays/works well with other firewalls like zonealarm. It perform perfectly with other firewall solutions (for the truly paranoid). Like my spyware detection I don't rely on one product (Adaware + Spybot) I use 2 firewalls plus a hardware router to ensure my server is secure.

I can confidently say I've never been compromised in all the time I've been up on the net!

For my personal pc I only use Kerio as my software firewall. Works Great and recommend it highly for the pionts I mention as well as the issues broughout by the other reviewers.

The Best
This is the BEST software firewall I've ever used!!!!! I have tried many other software firewalls like: Zone Alarm 4, Sygate Personal Firewall 5, Outpost Personal Firewall 1.0, Tiny Personal Firewall, and BlackIce Defender and KERIO HAS OUT PERFORMED ALL OF THEM!!! Out performed them in stability and security. I would suggest this to any one who want a stable and powerful firewall that REALLY WORKS!!! On my Windows XP Professional PIII system Kerio OUT PERFORMED ALL THE OTHERS BY FAR!!! I'm looking foward to learning how to set advanced rules as well. My personal opinion is that Kerio Personal Firewall IS THE BEST!!! Keep up the good work Kerio!!

At $14.95..ae you kidding me?, Wed Mar 29 2006
Reviewed By: Megas Poutsos

I bought the paid version at $14.95 and this firewall, at 9mb only, is powerful, vitually invisible to port scans, and does not slow you to a screeching halt. The power of this firewall is something. At this price, this is a deal no kidding!!!
