    Greetings:

    Are any of you actively using USB or even the expresscard firewall from http://yoggie.com/ for your laptop?

    If yes, for how long have you been using the product (which one if you don't mind sharing)?

    How well has it worked for you?

    Right now they don't have 64-bit drivers (they shared they are in development), but it looks like a good alternative to pure software-based firewalls.

    Thoughts?

    Thank you.

    I've heard of them, but I don't see any reason to buy their USB firewalls (especially since they're somewhat expensive). The only way I'd get any use out of it would be if I constantly switched between computers that weren't mine AND were not locked down. Then again, I wouldn't be using an unsecured laptop for materials that need a secured laptop. If you have your own computer, then there is no need for Yoggie's firewall USBs.
