32438 2002-01-22 23:43:00 I need to add another remote site onto DSL for email/basic Internet. They only have 2 win98 PCs so our usual Linux Firewall seems overkill. Bearing in mind they will later require VPN access to our main site. Should I upgrade the main PC to XP, and would its firewall be OK. Or would ZoneAlarm or other be sufficient? Guest (0)
32439 2002-01-23 00:58:00 Windows XP's bulit-in firewall only does inbound blocking but ZoneLabs ZoneAlarm does outbound blocking too.

Get ZoneAlarm if you want outbound protection as well as inbound protection.
Otherwise, XP firewall will do just fine :)
