Hi, google'd sygate to download it and it turns out they've been bought out by Symantec!

How can you say that, the free version was fantastic!

What firewalls are people using?

Anyone know why this happened? Big fish eating a little fish?

http://www.kerio.com/ that the right thing? Is it easy to set up to allow games and access to networks (inbound and out).
Also how much system resources does it use?
Finally guessing i'm going to have to swap sygate for it as that wont be having any updates etc?

Thanks

Thanks very much

Got my main system up and running "just"

Looks to be very good, will put it to the test though.

Cruiser - I haven't swapped yet with the PC that was running sygate. But have put it on my main system and if you chose advanced user thing then it is good. Comes up with a window when something trys to get in/out and then you can change your preferences. You can have it so it doesn't come up with a window but i haven't tried it yet. Going to be swapping with the other computer soon (when i get round to it).

Thinking i might setup a hardware firewall (using smoothwall linux) sometime if i ever upgrade the other computer. Anyone tried this?
