Sygate Loopback bug is FIXED

Many people have been concerned about the use of privacy/proxy software and the loopback bug in Sygate's Personal Firewall. It's fixed and actually has been for awhile:

I think you will find that only deals with IP spoofing where the localhost/loopback IP is being used as a source address in packets arriving at and leaving the firewall. Sygate still does not filter localhost traffic on your system as it relates to using proxy applications.

You are absolutely right. Still a BIG vulnerability. Thanks!
