As with the Windows Firewall, never really used it outside and internal

You should not chose Windows as a server platform if you're not trusting
in Microsoft.
Unfortunately, i have no choice in the platform, the dedicated servers
we are looking at running soon are only written for Microsoft!
Otherwise u think i would be posting this?

Then you're forced to use Windows. I understand. Well, then you will have
the problems of Windows, regardless what you're doing else.

BTW, the Windows-Firewall seems to be a simple while effective paket
filter implementation.
