774, Firewall question
Posted by Ropera, Fri Dec-14-01 09:56 AM
should I expect any decrease in performance if I use 2 firewalls at the same time: Tiny and the XP one?

Tiny should be sufficient by itself.

Why would you want to run both of them?

well, I don't really quite understand Tiny very well, and I am satisfied with the inbound protection from XP, so I was thinking on having both so at least I can play with the outbound on Tiny. See? I am mental.

Yes, you will have a performance hit when you run another program on your computer. Unless you are about to run out of resources or room you will probably not be able to tell the performance difference between running one or two firewalls.

Have fun!
