SensiveGuard Firewall ?

S

SinisA

Right now ZoneAlarm 6 is on my machine, but this program has become
bloatware. Looking for something lighter.
Anyone tried firewall mentioned in the subject ? It's free for personal
use. Program description on the home page
http://www.sensiveguard.com/index.html looks good, but I'd rather hear/read
end user opinions.
I was looking for some user reviews via google, not just usual program
descriptions, but no luck so far.
So, if anyone out there uses this firewall, a few words about it would be
very helpful.
TIA

Tried it here, a few releases. Seems pretty promising. It does have
one problem at present in that it does not properly handle proxy
software and loopback. Similar problem exists in Sygate also. I have
discussed it with them and they are working on a fix for the next
release, which should be in 3-4 weeks. At any rate, it's an interesting
offering and might be very suitable for use with routers for app control
and so on.

I like you have been having too many problems after using
ZoneAlarm over 6 years. I downloaded Sygate Free Personal
Edition and I have been impressed. There are paid versions
and like Zone Alarm the personal edition is free.

A PCFlank firewall port scan test shows ports closed and not stealthed.

Is this good enough?
