Any good IP/Website Blocker for Vista?

nathanlawliet · 06-04-2008, 10:22 AM

In my soon-to-be triple boot PC, I have Vista and I'm currently looking for any software that can block certain websites so that the computer can't send information to them. I've tried Peer Guardian and Zone Alarm, but they don't work in Vista.

Anyone know any free firewall that can block these sites for me?

Thanks,
Nate

Peer guardian doesn't work in Vista? I'm surprised at that. If anyone can find a working version for it in Vista, then that will be your best bet.

I went to the site and they said it wasn't working in Vista yet...

Comodo Firewall, available in x86 and x64.

Alternatives, look at Outpost Pro or http://www.tallemu.com/ Online Armor.

Peer Guardian 2 does work in Vista but its in beta, it works pretty well to be honest but occasionally crashes but not often.

Ah, thanks. Comodo Firewall wasn't what I was looking for. I need something that can block packets being sent to certain websites. So I can't block it with an IP that I don't know.
