10.5 ::: Leopard and firewalls

Posted by: fidel in mac, tags: 10.5, firewall, ipfw, leopard, little snitch, waterroof

Guys, what is the best setup on Leopard ?

My idea:

Outgoing -> Little Snitch
Incoming -> Mac OS X IPFW + WaterRoof

any better solution in mind ?

Yes using IPFW you can control outgoing packets.

Personally i prefer Little snitch as it it just more user-friendly as IPFW (even if you use Noobproof or Waterroof as frontend)

Best regards
