does anyone used them, and is any one good?

 

I used Netveda some time ago. This time when they gave the free version 3.8, don't know why but it caused a memory leak in my pc. I guess not in the rest since I have not seen any complaints except mine.

Looks like a good firewall. Not so friendly to setup, at least for me. Bad part is its forum. You can ask a question, go on vacations for 1 month come back and maybe you have the answer.

regards.

 

Netveda used to bediscussed around here, the othere I have not heard of. I wonder if they are original, based on an old version of something, or open source derrived.

 

I think it would be more appropriate if you made sure you linked to some info instead of direct downloads or registration forms.

The Walixpro link is a direct download. I certainly do not want in on my computer before getting some info about it.

The Netveda link is nothing but a registration form.

The AS3 link gives me nothing but "page cannot be displayed."

A review from Softpedia:

Supposedly a front end to the Windows XP firewall. If it worked with the Vista firewall it might be interesting.

 

This might help out.

AS3 - The link to the website appears to be down. Maybe the site got pulled down? The AS are the author's initials. I believe he is Russian.
