Filseclab Personal Firewall

Anyone install Filseclab Personal Firewall Professional Edition?

Is it good and lite?

 

It is pretty light and I liked it, but that was years ago. It's not been updated for a long time I think. Rule based, and seemed fairly decent at the time.

 

i see.... thanks...

 

I still use it on and off, its a little leaky but inbound protection is good, wish they would update it

 

Filseclab was discussed at length here some time back:

One thing I very much liked was it's logging, in that every log entry's "allowed" or "blocked" bit of traffic is associated to a specific rule number. Makes diagnosing any issues fairly easy.

The NEW version of the firewall, which from what i understand is completely rewritten and will be launched hopefully after summer, according to what i 've read , will be fully Vista compatible.
