    Not sure if this is the right place to put this, but ill pop it up anyway!

    Anyway just wondering whats the most friendly firewall for online games thats out there at the mo ?

    Now i know any firewall can be config to allow different ports different acces but im wondering what firewalls require the minium amount of work to setup for most online games?

    I loved the comodo firewall (and still do), it was great but dam annoying when it came to online games it blocked everything i tired to put though. even when i allowed it access.

    So just wondeing what do people use?
    thx

    I use zonealarm.

    First time a game tries to access the internet, box pops up, agree to it and that's sorted. Unless you patch it, then you'll need to do it again.

    Only problem is sometimes when a game launches full screen and doesn't like losing the focus to zonealarm behind it, causes a crash now and then.
