On the contrary, I use Proxomitron with Sygate and they work fine.

I guess I should restate what I meant. The problem is the well documented loopback problem in Sygate. Don’t get me wrong I like sygate as a firewall I use it on machines without local proxy software. It does a good job, but the loopback issues which aren’t on the surface that big of a deal are very real. It has nothing to do with crashing.

Any program that connects through the proxomitron has free reign on the internet and you can’t control them, which is essentially why you would use a firewall in the first place. Its worse with programs like Ad Muncher that work where they filter everything on a lower level and don’t require you to enter a proxy server.

You can in sygate allow proxomitron and block internet explorer and still be able to browse the web in internet explorer.

Also you left out the “h” in your outpost link.
