Netbarrier X4 is the latest version of the Intego Netbarrier line of its Mac compatible firewall. It features a cookie cleaner, browser history cleaner, internet traffic statistic, and a internet bandwidth meter. It also contains cookie filters and information hiding. The firewall is customizable, with already configured options: No Restrictions, No Network, Client (Local Server), Server Only, Client Only, and Customized. The "Customized" option is where the user can configure the firewall to his/her extent.
[edit] Criticism
The Net Barrier is often criticized for being expensive ($69) compared with other firewall programs like Norton, McAffee, etc., and is criticized for its "Customized" feature because it needs an honest amount of internet know-how.
