I've had problems. When I did, the problems weren't restricted to just TB!, though they initially started with TB! after having no problems for some time before. My problems progressed to complete blocks of my internet connection with difficulties connecting to my ISP. A reboot would fix the problems. As Roelof pointed out in one of his messages, it would appear that things can go awry with ZA during long periods of machine uptime. As soon as I discovered the problem I switched to using one of the many capable alternatives out there. ZA is a good blocker, but there are alternatives that will do just as well.

It's problems aren't only confined to TB! use. But then, problems vary in severity if and when they exist at all. All in all, this makes its reliability questionable. Of course, nothing beats ones own personal experience. If it's working for you then use it. V> I've paid for the Pro version. I like the interface and trust its V> protection. I'm not sure if Kerio offers all the features ZA Pro V> does. You should take a look. As the man who popularized ZA says, Tiny Personal Firewall, now known as Kerio, is 'terrific' and it would have been his personal choice if at the time it has multiprocessor support. :) I've personally used it and found it to be a step up from ZA in configurability and tunability. Most of all, it *never* did any unexpected blocking and worked and worked, no matter the machine's uptime. V> I've thought about it.

Maybe version 2.0 will change that :) There are no clients that I know of that will do the things TB! can on a specific basis or on the basis as TB! as an overall package. TB! is not replaceable for me at least. There are many capable firewall's out there. If one isn't working for me, I can easily find one that does. There's Kerio, Sygate, Outpost, 8 Signs, BlackICE (my current choice), among other. -- -= allie_M =- | List Moderator PGPKeys: http://www.ac-martin.com/pgpkeys.html _
