I'm a really big fan of the hardware ones they have nice Webbased management, they come in total stealth mode, don't allow anything inbound, don't respond to ping on the WAN, NAT turned on, and use the IP address of the first inside machine they see. They have some bugs... and I'm really overworking mine, but they do work. And at $60-70 RETAIL, they really can't be beat. Yes you can pay $100+ for them but then tend to have a lot of extra stuff like a WAP, and a printer port.
It's worth the money. And if you have enough home users, it might make sense for your company to buy bulk and just give the suckers away with new laptops. All the netgear ones are even remotely manageable. (not in a way I like, but it could be done.)

I'm looking for a free software firewall that I can recommend for people to use for home usage.
In the past, the only one I tried was Sygate, and it seemed ok, but then it started crashing a lot and generally flaking out.
So I'd like to hear if anybody's got a good recommendation for a free software firewall.
Thanks #2!
