    http://www.pcflank.com/scanner1s.htm

    and here:

    http://www.dslreports.com/scan

    watch for the ping result at dsl

    if you get good results from the 2 above try GRC just for grins :D

    https://nanoprobe.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2

    for those who have not been to GRC tests are near center of the verticle page, left click on "All Service Ports" very fast probe test ck the other tests (file sharing, messenger spam & browser headers) too.

    I have switched firewall programs a few times lately.

    I finally settled on LooknStop 2.04p2.
    I'm very happy with LnS. :)

    Hi All. First I used ZAFree, then switched to ZAPRO. No problems and All ports are always "STEALTH" :D. Also for AOL users, the new nanoprobe "All Service Ports" scan may result in disconnection o_O from AOL. Scan it through IE. instead.

    I was a long time user of Sygate, free and pro, but currently happy tweaking my Kerio rules. :)

    I'm assuming the sygate users don't use webwasher,proxomitron (maybe cookiecop i'm not sure) or any other local http proxy right?

    I use Kerio 2.1.5 and love it! Although I have used Sygate before and it was good while I tried it :).

    I wouldn't use Sygate now, simply because of the problem of it letting programs "piggyback" out with proxies (I use the proxomitron).

    Regards, Jade.
