Ummm... what is "good" to you? Their web site says it filters packets.
That's nice. Is it stateful? What criteria does it use to determine if a
packet matches a state entry? Does it properly filter out overlapping
fragments? Does it handle nasty protocols with dynamic data channels? Which
ones? etc. etc. etc.
Personally, the fact that they have no usefull technical information
available (and the fact that their download page gives nothing but perl
script errors) makes me discount them as a valid option. They fail my "You
must be at least this high to ride this ride" test.
