What firewall to use with OFP?

Recommended Posts

I having problem playing MP with an firewall.

OFP 1.26 is chrashing when accessing MP (on a DSL) when any FIREWALL is active. I have tried zonealarm//zonealarm pro//sygate. All of them causing OFP to chrash. The ones wich allow manuall port settings I have tried setting up correct ports according to forums and other sites. Disabling the FW OFP is running OK.

Other MP (CS) games dont crash!

Someone help me.

best thing to do is to turn your firewall off when playing OFP

Yep, also have zonealarm, it simply refuses to let OFP through (even after I said it will allow it both as client and server). Shut it off, the easiest thing.

Best free firewall that exists smile.gif

It's a linux distribution but really simple to setup.

Small download for an ISO image.

Runs great on any old 486 PC with 2 or 3 Network cards.

(Depends if you want DMZ port)
