SoftPerfect
SoftPerfect Personal Firewall is a rule based network firewall to protect your PC against incoming
attacks from the Internet or the local area network. It offers rule based settings for packet filtering with support for non-IP
protocols such as ARP. It supports multiple network adapter configurations and lets you apply rules to all or just selected
interfaces. The firewall comes with a learning mode, however even then, requires the user to have a good understanding of
TCP/Ip networking. It comes with a set of pre-defined rules that allow you to quickly configure the most common protocols.
SoftPerfect Personal Firewall is a standard firewall and does not offer any application level filtering.

Jetico Personal Firewall
Jetico Personal Firewall can protect your computer from outside attacks, as well as from malicious
programs that are attempting to communicate with the outside. It offers three levels of protection including low-level network
packets, application-level and user-level filtering. Jetico Personal Firewall checks every packet that comes in or out of
your computer and based on your rules, decides to allow it or not. It properly detects and allows the local network (if requested)
upon installation, and switches to a learning mode where it will prompt you for every application that is attempting to access
the network or the Internet. We found the Jetico Personal Firewall to be rather complicated to use and configure.

R-Firewall
R-Firewall is a personal firewall that allows you to control which applications can access the
Internet. It supports application rules based on protocol, IP and ports. During the initial learning mode, you will be asked
each time an application is initiating a network connection and have the option to allow or deny it, and also create a rule
for future attempts. The program also includes content and email filtering options based on keywords in the URL, picture size,
host and other aspects.

Filseclab Personal Firewall
Filseclab Personal Firewall is a personal firewall that allows you to control which programs
can access the Internet and at what times. It offers an automated rules wizard that will prompt you for action whenever an
incoming or outgoing connection is detected, that does not match any of the existing rule sets. You can then choose to grant
or deny access, and automatically create a rule for it. The firewall also allows you to create rules manually and supports
rules for applications, intranet, network type and time. In addition to connection filtering, the program also offers browser
independent web site access filtering, that allows you to block specified sites or limit access to a list of sites. Additional
features include control of ICMP packets, traffic graph display, three security levels and more. The interface is a little
small (and a little confusing), but overall, Filseclab Personal Firewall offers some good features.
