702725 2008-09-05 05:08:00 Hello members
I am using Comodo 2.4 firewal in a Fusion setup and I like to try to lower the CPU usage and wonder which of the firewalls uses the least CPU resources and still being comparable to the CF?
Thanks

702726 2008-09-05 05:13:00 This would probably be the smallest 1.1 mb (www.looknstop.com)

But its not free, and its rules based I think

Speedy, thanks!
Do you know anyone who has tried it?

702728 2008-09-05 05:36:00 I tried it a few years ago. It was pretty complicated to configure then, since IIRC you have to add whatever ports etc yourself Speedy Gonzales (78)

That does not sound to promissing!
Any other options you can think of?

702730 2008-09-05 06:12:00 Theres quite a few firewalls that are small.

Only prob is like this one, theyre rule based

After reading this and that online and also going through security forums I have installed Kerio 2.15.:)
So far so good. Definitely little CPU and Memory usage. So it looks promising.
