Does anyone have any good opinions on a better firewall to use other then the pre installed one on mac osx. Possibly a freeware or opensource one that has good options for configurations. Thanks.

re: Mac Firewalls

Here's a list
  • Flying Buttress - Shareware
  • Doorstop X - Commercial
  • Firewalk X - Shareware
  • IPNetSentryX - Commercial
  • InterGate - Commercial
  • LittleSnitch - Shareware
  • NetBarrier X4 - Commercial
  • NoobProof - Source
  • Norton Personal Firewall for Mac - Commercial
  • WaterRoof - OpenSource

More information is available @ the following site:

It's a bit dated, but we'll try to see if we can put together a fresh new one together.
