Some character in another forum is promoting AS3 (free rules based FW). (This first-time poster's promotion left me a little leery). I must admit I've never heard of it. Anybody have any experience with it? http://www.software4u.tk/ Screenshot here: http://216.120.255.16/~softwar/screenshot.htm I did a search here at Wilders, but could find no mention.
AS3 is a decent and light weight inbound only firewall. Might be a nice choice to accompany a good HIPS program.
Apparently hasn't received a stellar rating from this limited group of trial users: http://www.download.com/AS3-Personal-Firewall/3640-10435_4-10497964.html
