Visnetic Firewall WorkStation

advanced personal firewall

Our Rating: (Excellent)

Visnetic Firewall is a rules-based firewall that examines each packet being sent, inside and outside of the network to verify whether the packet is allowed or denied access through the firewall. It works with stand-alone, networked or changing environments. Visnetic Firewall offers customized security through user-defined rule creation and the ability to configure devices individually. Examples of a device include an internal network interface card (NIC), an external NIC linked to a cable modem connecting to the Internet, or a Dial-Up Adapter used to connect to an ISP (Internet Service Provider). The rules can be complex, but are easy to create due to the graphical interface that allows you to select and specify the option. Additional features include optional Email Notification on rule violations, password protection, logging and more. <br> Stateful inspection delivers firewall protection beyond pure packet filtering. Rather than simply verifying the packet source and destination, Stateful Inspection ensures the legitimacy of the packet by matching its presence to an actual request. For example, rather than accepting all ping replies, Visnetic Firewall will permit a ping response only following a confirmed ping request.<br> Visnetic comes with a very detailed setup wizard that will automatically generate the custom settings for you based on a series of simple questions and answers about how you use the internet etc. of course, you can also choose to configure it manually or edit the wizard generated rules later.
