If your on Windows, do NOT use ZoneAlarm Pro... this is what hapenned to me:

Installed the new update.
Went to nl.openoffice.org, and a screen poped up that the website was blocked because according to ZoneAlarm Pro it contained "hacker/proxy cracking tools".
It was done by ZoneAlarm Pro's webfilter. If I payed $ 20 more for ZoneAlarm Pro, I would be able to control the webfilter  :mad:

I'm now using an alternative firewall... I just can't wait until I get a larger hard-disk, so that my relatives will allow me to install Red Hat 8.0 on MY computer.

I wont be using Zone Alarm, but thats because i have a good Linux firewall/proxy setup

ZA got a lot of press, but Kirio Personal Firewall is a lot better IMO.  It allows application AND ip filtering; ZA (the free one anyway) is purely application based, and the default firewalls for *nix's are primarily ip based.

I'm trying to write an app/ip/user+group based firewall that will rest on the NetFilter design, mostly to suppliment iptables.  It is still pre-ALEPH (exisits only on paper) though, since I am starting to learn C++.

-t.

Mr Smith:
I remember when I first got the free version of ZA 2.0, I really liked it. Then one day, I check for an update (I don't like programs that try try to get updates automatically, it pisses me off) and there is  one waiting. It wasn't until after I installed this update and re-started the program that I found out it was an update for ZA Pro! I was highly pissed, and almost decided to take it off my computer and write ZoneLabs a nasty letter. Almost. But then I just decided to get a crack for it and have been using ZA Pro FREE ever since. The customer is always right.  :D
