Hi jupes. You said to use more than one firewall on windows? Thats about the one of the biggest mistakes one can do. There are more reasons why this is a bad idea. Let me try to explain the negative sides of what you have proposed.
1 - Two firewalls does not make you more secure. On the opposite, it makes you less secure.
2 - If you setup one firewall "CORRECTLY" then its safe enough, and its easier to administrate. Setting up 2 firewalls will cause you to lack attention on each one individually meaning that you would have 2 poorly setup firewalls which offer no real protetection. Also the thought of having 2 makes you "think" you are safer, which will cause less accuracy.
3 - Two firewalls might interefeer with each other. To maintain a firewall correctly takes some time and accuracy. But to maintain 2 firewalls is madness.
I hope that im making sense to you Jupes.
Cheers.
