I'm setting up a new laptop running Vista 64 (Home) and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a free firewall, specifically to track outbound access. Thanks, /ravi

You can try Firewall Control[^]. It is not a firewall but an interactive shell around build-in firewall. Using this you can monitor both inbound and outbound connections. -Saurabh

Yes, it depends on the version. A basic edition should not do what you are looking for but vista ultimate accepts all sorts of configuration rules for incoming and outgoing traffic.

Comodo Firewall http://personalfirewall.comodo.com/[^] has a free version that works on vista 64. I use it on Vista home Premium 64 and it works well. The current version 3 seems to have a reasonable security reputation. Don
