hello!

Opensource means that evryone can see the source code of the program for edit it or check it for find bugs
OpenFirewall is the first opensource valid alternative of a commercial firewall for Microsoft Windows

Windows XP, 2003, Vista have an integrate firewall, but it check only the outbound communications
OpenFirewall will check out/in comminications in statefull ispection

This project is based on TWO different firewall,
one is in the kernel of the system operative ( kernel-mode ), it is based on WIPFW ( a port of linux firewall for windows )
and onw is at the start of the application level ( application-mode), this last is based on tdifw
is the technology that permit to the firewall to control the communications with two split wall

important note: tdifw and WIPFW are opensource project

Now are supported all 32bit Microsoft Windows NT based, so Windows NT,2000,XP,2003,Vista
( WIPFW will be soon ready at 64bit )

another important note : i never tested Microsoft Windows Vista so i' m not sure that it will work good
