461334 2006-06-07 06:10:00 I was wondering if anyone has knowledge about the Jetico Personal Firewall.
I happened to come across a site that claimed to be a "Firewall leak tester"

www.firewallleaktester.com

On this site I was somewhat surprised and concerned to read that Zone Alarm Free (which I happen to use) was rated very low .

The highest rating was shared by Kaspersky Internet Security and Ghost Security Suite.

Second on their list was Jetco Firewall which is apparently Free.

Does anyone have any advice as to the advantages or otherwise, of making a change?

Thanks for your help. :confused:

461335 2006-06-07 06:41:00 i have heard of jetco firewall but never tested it myself. might give it a go.

that site gives werid results. for eg some of the test ZA is well know to pass, has done for years yet they say it fails. even in the disciption of some of the tests its says ZA blocks it. what gives? is it just another advertising site?

461336 2006-06-07 10:50:00 well i just tried jetico firewall. bluntly put....it sucks. a quick test shows it works ok BUT its the most complicated non-user friendly mess of a firewall that i have ever seen. i couldn't find anywhere where to config what apps its letting through or blocking (which is the main thing you want to access). its werid.

a big thumbs down.
