Foxie Firewall is a small yet powerful Firewall application especially designed to block out Adware, Internet Exploits, Spammers, Spyware, Worms and Trojans. Foxie Firewall works by blocking all incoming and outgoing TCP/IP and UDP traffic to and from IP ranges of malicious servers. Foxie Firewall does not require any special configuration and it works very low on the kernel level - consuming little to non CPU (Central Processing Unit) and memory usage.

To make sure that the IP ranges used to block malicious connections is up to date; Foxie Firewall uses an on-line block-list Database that is continuously updated on a daily basis -- so your computer will remain safe and your personal information private while surfing the net .

Foxie Firewall is a derived work of PeerGuardian, a truly great open source project based on the original work by Tim Leonard and Cory Nelson. If you enjoy using this product, please donate directly to PeerGuardian and help keep software free!
