I've been using Sygate for more than an year after using ZA Pro for
many years. Sygate has been worked perfectly for me and this computer
has passed all security tests regularly posted inth NG. Btw, I use
use Proxomitron with Sygate which seems to be a great combination. I
find the Sygate logs are particularly helpful. I'm using these
programs with Windows XP.
