I'm just wondering which firewalls you guys use right now on your Windows rigs running SRCDS.
Currently I'm using Windows SP2 firewall but I'm thinking I could probably get something better. I want something that produces minimum lag too.
Looking for suggestions! Thanks guys!

I'm using Sygate, used it for a long time, easy customisation and pretty much blocks everything bad.

SP1 firewall and/or Windows IPSEC.
All a firewall should do is block certain traffic and only allow traffic on certain ports, which IPSEC does perfectly and with no extra load at all.

I don't know much about IPSEC so I'm gonna have to go with Sygate because I've used it before and was pretty happy with it.
The only thing that comes to mind for me is when I install it, won't it start blocking shit right away, and then how would I get remote access to my server? lol

dag nabbit. I guess I'll have someone do it locally. And I'm thinking that I'm going to go with Sygate.
Thanks a lot guys!
