I would like to control outbound Internet connections from my computer.
ZoneAlarm can do this, but only works on 32 bit versions of Microsoft Windows.
What options do I have to control outbound connections (e.g. to block access to certain sites or from certain applications or from certain ports) on a 64 bit Windows system, e.g. Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition? Software and/or hardware. Free or commercial.
My router has some primitive way to block certain sites, but I would have to know them beforehand or in block all by default mode enter every site I want to go to. This is not feasible.
3Please do not use ZoneAlarm, for anything. While working technical support for an ISP, ZoneAlarm and Nortons firewall solution accounted for around 15-20% of all calls by themselves. – Stefan Thyberg – 2009-07-15T12:14:41.693
