Hi!

Been searching for a good packet-filter based firewall, with user-defineable rules. (Software firewall, Windows[2k] platform).

Tried many, lost a month-time in search, but still haven't found the best.
Any suggestions?

Between, any one heard about CheckPoint firewall? Does it allow flexible rules?

Basically I want to create rules like:
DROP if
(sent_bytes > recv_bytes) and (dir == IN) and (dst_port = 466x) and (sent_bytes > 10KB);

;) I want to rule out eDonkey/eMule leechers, automatically. These mules ain't 'what u get is what u give', often.

Any idea??

Thx in adv,

Alex.

I think Comodo Personal Firewall allows this.

Yes .. Comodo will let you do this .. Or you may try Jetico (its a bit geeky at first but will give you the command you want .. ) ..
