Open source firewall...

Check it out. Looks very similar to look n stop by the screenshots! Any comments?

Kalpik,

I and another forum member tried this out, lets say the experience wasn't that positive, had to get rid of it, would rather try out the WIPFW when I get a chance.

Ok. Even i tried it. Was not very great (though i didnt have any trouble with it!). Anyways, thanks for the comments.

I tried it. I am not sophisticated enough about firewalls but it seems OK to me. I run some PCflank tests with this firewall.
Here you can see from my Turkish language website but the pictures are English:D Tests are at the bottom of the page.
Winsock Screenshots (http://www.shamanwmc.com/doctus/index.php?topic=453.from1133056577;topicseen#msg3110)

But I need an information about the software, is there a way that we can start it automaticly at the start up?

[tansu]

Cheers,
Still running this firewall in my main PC and I am very glad for now. Surfing speed is very good after outpost and kerio. I guess there is no way to start it automaticly at the start up.
Could you give me some other web sites which I can test this firewall other than PCflank?
Regards
