Window's Firewall

[Bill Bridges]

An interesting take on Windows Firewall. I'm not sure what to think other than I think I will keep my Windows Firewall activated.

[Russell Holton]

Having it is better than not having anything.

Most firewalls don't bock outgoing requests - at least if they use normal protocols. Inbound requests are likely to be blocked by your router. I think the days of plugging a computer directly to the internet are long gone.

I wouldn't expect a firewall to have "blocked IP". That sounds more like a different security application that includes firewall.
