| Purpose | APF is an iptables/netfilter-based firewall system designed for Internet-deployed Linux servers. | Comodo Internet Security combines antivirus protection, a packet-filtering firewall, host intrusion prevention, and automatic sandboxing of unknown files. |
APF suits administrators of supported Linux servers who need configurable inbound and outbound filtering. It requires familiarity with Linux, iptables/netfilter, and Bash.
It suits Windows users looking for antivirus, firewall, and sandboxing features in one product. Families may also be interested in its website filtering and custom block-list options.
