Firewall Memory Usage?

[Auric]

I am looking for a software firewall that uses less than the 9MB or so that ZoneAlarm 37 uses. How much memory does Tiny Personal 45 use?

I don't know about the size of Tiny, but my zonealarm.exe is using less than 2MB right now.

 

[Doh!]

Kerio's FW is pretty light.

My sonicwall used none ;-)

I'm using Tiny PF 2.0, currently hogging a mighty 4,268KB. I tried TPF 4 but I absolutely hated the user interface.

I should have mentioned that was for ZA 37 Pro with most of the Pro features disabled. I wonder if the free version uses less just for firewall use and not ad. blocking etc.

theAnimal, add vsmon.exe too.

sean2002, I assume sonicwall is a HWF.

Doh!, Kerio is akin to TPF 2 but worth considering.

Nohr, using an older version of TPF or ZA is always an option but not if it is less robust. I did not care for the ZA3 interface versus 2 at first but it is a better proggy and some of the crap can be toggled off.

kerio 3.0 beta 6 uses 6.7mb between 2 services. Great firewall and other protection features.
