firewall port selection

[dansheen]

I've been using zone alarm free for many years. I'd like to find a freeware
firewall that allows me the ability to specify a port range for a program to
access. That's not an option on the freeware zonealarm. Do any of the
other freeware ones that those of you use have this feature?

I think Sygate personal firewall does. But I have not used it and it
appears you specify ports like 2533, 2534, etc. Not sure if you can add
a range.

Kerio has. (use the 2.x versions, since newer ones don't have a good
reputation herearound...)

Kerio ver. 2.1.5:

Kerio no longer has this version available on their site, so get it
here while you still can. It allows what you're refering to, and it
also has a *very* low system resource requirement (unlike ZoneAlarm,
which I used to use also.)

IMO Kerio 2.1.5 is the best software firewall going.

Hi John and all,

The UK Kerio mirror site has all Kerio firewall versions available for
download, including PFW 2.1.5, which is very good indeed.

Since you familiar with ZoneAlarm you might want to
consider the free Etrust EZ firewall - basically Zonealarm Pro V3.7
you can download it here (it comes with EZ antivirus, but installing
either is optional)

To specify a port range select Program Control, Programs tag,
rightclick on the program & select options.
