Why should I use GlowWorm FW?
For information on why you should use a software firewall in the first place, please see this page. GlowWorm FW provides features unrivaled in its price range. Every software firewall protects against outgoing connections, but GlowWorm FW also protects against incoming and listener connections. Why does this matter? Read on…. The Mac OS X built-in firewall is an all-or-nothing approach for a given service. Either you allow it for everyone, or you deny it for everyone. With GlowWorm FW you can limit incoming connections to those from a specific network or even a single computer. The actual services pertaining to these incoming connections may very well have their own level of authentication to keep out unwanted guests, but GlowWorm FW protects you on the network level – which is important in case one of these services is ever the subject of a vulnerability. If an attacker is not even allowed to connect to the computer, then he will not be able to exploit a vulnerability at all. Listen
