If your running Mac OS X you might be able to get the gcc installed and port IPFilter from FreeBSD over to it.

Otherwise, you might have to settle for Windows quality bunk freeware :(

i might have missunderstood you, but are you saying a firewall for windows per say zonealarm will work???????????????

[Stef]

No I meant that Windows freeware is junk.

You would be better off porting the IPFilter code from FreeBSD onto Mac OS X and writing your own firewall from scratch. Kernel based packet filtering is fast, efficient, and a hell of a lot better then any firewall you'll ever find for Windows.
