Hey guys, is it me or have the guys at symantec pulled the sygate forums? i know some of you clever guys use or used to use it? i still am at the moment
cheers D 
As far as I know, Sygate has been discontinued by Symantec. They bought it, but also they shut it down⌠so closing some of those forums was kind of expected somehow. I donât knowâŚ
yep symantics bought it and promtly droped the sygate elements but the forum remained but it looks like they have finally pulled the plug on this now ,ah well comodo personal firewall is looking good to me?
cheers d
You may also consider using Kerio. Itâs not dead like I already mentioned tens of times in this and some other forums. Besides, take a peek in here:

Itâs closed deal, so wonderful Kerio will live after all !

Yes 1600e, seems they did. 
The moderators who were just volunteers in the site did not take it lightly. Red Jack emailed me how they felt.
I would continue to use Sygate as a light free firewall.
Or use Kerio 4.2.2 like I do currently, some 20 MB memory usage.
Not sure about that Comodo so much advertised in this forum. I looked at the user interface, nothing like Kerio. Also some talks about it not working using a limited XP user account.
thanks for replys guys, question answered
hi jarmo p, yes i had contact with red jack,anialator and mats when i had problems,although not too many ,but its not the way to treat people. have they moved to wilders as they were talking about doing?
i have been looking at a few alternatives ,kerio 4.2 and have 2.1,also
saftey net, jpf wall,ghostwall and of course Comodo for which i have been following the threads on here with great interest.
shame about sygate used it for years never got caught out and reliable.,ah well move on.
cheers dean 
User Interface is much more extended than Kerioâs if you havenât noticed, by the way it doesnât give any kind of GUI problems when for example Azureus is open and running, or even LimeWire⌠like Kerio does, sometimes even half of the GUI is missing, and not just here, but on many other computers. Many people already reported that and nothing is solved in latest build.
Comodo doesnât have any problems with limited account, it works with limited accounts without any problems. Problems start to occure when you have to switch users⌠thatâs different. Anyway I have had no problems with it⌠just FYI I use Kerio right now. I was just testing Comodo and it seems like promissing firewall.
Also, I donât see how Comodo can be advertized in this forum when itâs completely freeware product, so no need to advertize it.
We do that very often in these forums. We do nice reviews just like in that thread where you âsawâ that Comodo add⌠we test it so people can decide should they proceed with installation or not⌠thatâs all. Everyone is entitled to use what suits him/her the best.
I agree Sasha.
Not that I see that comodo having advantage in GUI over Kerio.
It is still much less user friendly and Kerio more is for power users wanting all in their access, including mistakes.
Except those malfunctions you mentioned that I have not had. I have Limeware so maybe I try some p2p 
But I agree that our forum readers have a right to choose and also freedom to post their preferences. Just like you have. Or me, hehe.
I couldnât agree more with you on this one⌠I was also talking about UI not GUI, but while I was there, I also mentioed GUI as well.
I totally agree, Kerio became so easy to use and still itâs quite configurable, so something for everyone I guess. Itâs just makes me so angry when I see no one is doing anything regarding those GUI problems because itâs not just ugly, but annoying as well⌠sometimes whole GUI freezes for letâs say 30 seconds, but the good thing is⌠only when Azureus or Limewire are up and running. I have no clue why, but Iâve seen so many reports regarding that and still no solution on horizon.
I just hope Sunbelt will do something regarding those little issues very soon. Itâs too good firewall to be abandoned just like that, right ?
Cheers !
Well, Sasha, you have the talent for graphics. For me the GUI is not so ugly, but the UI is definately for power users. Felixible, but also easy to make mistakes.
I have to test Limeware to see if that happens. I rarely have a need to bring up Kerio GUI though. It runs in the background and no need to touch it. But I will test and give my report post if I notice some malfunction in GUI.
Already I have seen some little faults in packet filter rules, when trying to make a rule order and sometimes it just does not keep it like I tell.
Nothing serious though.
Sygate is a good firewall IMO for any reading this thread. I might go back if Symantec gives me a free copy of Pro, LOL.
Again (lol)⌠I never said GUI is ugly, just that problem with GUI is ugly and annoying. See here:
...It's just makes me so angry when I see no one is doing anything regarding those GUI problems because it's not just ugly, but annoying as well...
Ok, maybe I should have put something like this: ââŚGUI problems because those GUI issues are not just ugly, but annoying as wellâŚâ
GUI itself is very clean and causy and I myself found it very nice and easy to navigate through. Nothing like Kerio GUI is ugly, no way⌠far from thatâŚ
Cheers !
Kerio GUI is not ugly is just buggy.
You canât open it without a glass hour mice for a lot of time, you can see parts of the background through itâŚ
Man, I never see such a good firewall (or fantastic firewall) with a terrible buggy GUIâŚ
Tech and Sasha, not sure but this might help you.
I read somewhere that âResolve addressâ feature you can disable with a right click takes a lots of âpowerâ.
Not using it might make the GUI response better.
PS
Wish Sunbelt will add a backtrace or âwho is this IPâ in the future build of Kerio like Sygate has.
Sorry not following this⌠Resolve address feature ? Where is that located ? I canât find anything like that, especially not by right-clicking Kerio icon⌠am I doing something wrong ?
Well, that is when you go to log, right click there or in application or packet filter rules or in Overviw, everywhere
Edit:
Already complained on techâs former skate board icon ⌠I like the new one.
Yours Sasha spins too fast in my firefox, makes me dizzy
Ok thanks I found itâŚ
UPDATE:
Finally thanks to JarmoP, the problem with GUI is solved. I am so happy right now !
Thanks JarmoP, but still I hope you understand me, it shouldnât happen in the first place even when that option is enabled⌠right ? They (Sunbelt) have to do something regarding that problemâŚ
Cheers !
Sure it should not happen!
Might do with the connections people are having.
I never experienced problems, but I soon moved to BZ rules, no idea if dynamic DNS has something to do with it or not. I use now only my DNS server in filter rules.
Glad if that really helped.
Yes it helped, but I have no clue what would that have anything to do with dynamic DNS settings. I use static IP, as well as DNS server addresses⌠also Iâm on ADSL, connected 24/7 through my hardware router/firewall⌠any idea ?
Not really and i donât recommend to go and mess with those BZ rules.
It was just a hunch, how Kerio gets the site names in logs etc. if there is something little bad design in that. Sure is I guess.
I wish I could test it⌠where is this option into Kerio settings?
