I'll still run Sygate as long as I can also. :D

Matt.... I've seen this one mentioned (but can't remember where) that you may want to check out.

It's also offered at MajorGeeks.....

Personally I don't know anything about it but here it is:

I've got Kerio kicking now. And, I have to say, I like it! Just make sure when you install, you pick advanced mode, so you controll and teach what has access and what doesn't. It acts like Sygate that way.

Sounds like you're good with Kerio's firewall, eh Matt?

i was gonna say...i've used "tiny" before. Played around with it and it doesn't suck. i've read it's pretty much the same architecture as XP FW. imho, XP FW isn't sucky at all. Well except...Ya know the deal on out bound... Anyway..."tiny" gives you that small sense of security, fair amount of control, it's easy on resources and it's free. i do recall being overwhelmed by it at first. But it was my first FW.You have to start somewhere right?

i've never tried Kerio or ZA...Think i'll keep Kerio in mind cuz your review sounded pretty positive. Man am i gonna miss Sygate! Thanks for sharing the info!
