I have a software firewall running and just downloaded the free Bufferzone Pro. I noticed that BP has some sort of firewall so should I disable/uninstall my resident firewall before activating Bufferzone Pro?

Acr1965,

I only tried bufferzone once, I disabled my firewall (SesitiveGuard) at the time. I have not tested the Firewall for applications 'outside' the buffered zone (in the trusted zone).
There are a few members who use Bufferzone, but I think you will get more answers on the forums mentioned on this page

The free version doesn't have a firewall.
