You just have to read this forum for awhile and it soon becomes
obvious which firewalls have which problems. I was a paid up user of
ZAP until they went to that key thing. I had trouble even getting the
thing and an online upgrade burned my bridges, so I needed something
quick.

Tiny was meant to be temporary until I got the key sorted.

One look at Tiny and that was it for me.

Marcus got the key thing sorted but I never used it. By the time I got
that key I had realized that Tiny was so much more superior,
configurable, and flexible.

Besides I figure if it's good enough for the American airforce it's
good enough for me. If I need something stronger it's a good intro to
Winroute Pro.

I also bought Black Ice which I no longer use. Before I pay for
another programme I am going to have to be convinced that it's a LOT
better than tiny.
