I agree completely with this method... after using sygate for roughly a
year or so I am quite happy with not only the relatively easy way of
setting up rules for the applications that connect to the net, I also
like the feature of being able to see which ports and remote ports that
the applications are using.

This feature was very useful when I was setting up a server-like
computer to my hardware router/firewall. Using the traffic log I was
able to see what needed to be connected and was able to see what
happened when specific apps were blocked.

It is also Very useful for blocking ip addresses and ip ranges that
attempt to hack my FTP server... Very annoying, but relatively easy to
fix.

Side note - allowing all is more like paying for a car and then never
using it. There might be things that it will still block but I am not
really aware of any real functional reason to allow all.

Anyhow... its a great program!
