nVidia's nVFirewall on NF4 Ultra Chipsets

gvblake22 · 06-22-05, 05:05 PM

How well does it work and/or is it worth my while to install the drivers for this hardware firewall over another software firewall offering? Anyone have any experience using this feature??
Thanks

I played around with it a bit on a benching rig and personally I think it is way ahead of many other firewalls. Not to mention that it is integrated on the chip. Hardware firewalls are preferred over a software version like Zonealarm because it's much harder to hack.

I think I'll give it a shot then seeing as I will probably be reformatting within the next week anyway
