Sygate was bought out by Symantec at the end of 2005. The firewall has excellent logging features and a nice graphic interface. The last beta version was 5.6.3408 which was never offically released in December 2005, but can be downloaded from a server that was used by Sygate developers. With the obvious age of the last version, the firewall may not be up to snuff as current firewall programs. I used the program on one of my laptops and came across malware that turned off the firewall (I did get a warning about this action). If you are a pretty safe surfer, this firewall should be adequate for older PC systems (up to Windows XP). One note about the option settings - remember to turn off "access as a server" rights for any program on the firewall application list. The program allows it as default. The last beta build is available on this website.

This always has been and continues to be the best firewall on the market. Thanks to this web site for still offering it since Symantec purchased Sygate and made the product's newer versions completely useless. Kind of like Volkswagon purchasing BMW and sticking the BMW name on the new volkswagon. |

The only windows firewall that I would recommend. Shame that its been discontinued due to corporate takeover from Symantec.

Hooray, a no-nonsense windows program. No bloated interface, no skins, no fancy graphics, just a simple low-resource firewall that does what it needs to do, and does it well.
Only one small issue: if you're on XP with multiple users logged in, only the first user who logs in will get a tray icon, and all messages show up for this user. If you're the second user to log in and your newly installed netprog doesn't seem to work, you have to quickswitch to the first user to give/deny permission. |

Suberb product! Have tried most other freebies on the web and this is perfect for me. Easy setup and good flexibility for your specific needs. If you wont a more simple interface and dont need the flexibility go with zonealarm. Kerio is also cool but to many settings and popups requiring input. |

Well, With a user rating of over 96% What more can I add except that I have run this Firewall against a minimum of 15 Independent Tests and have passed ALL OF THEM. I'm running on Broadband and as you know I MUST HAVE A BRICK WALL TO PROTECT ME AND MY SYSTEM !!! I"m running Windows XP PRO and have turned off XP's Firewall and am using this one instead, With all the security leaks Microsoft has had and is still having, NO WAY I'm going to trust them to protect ME !!!! THANK YOU SYGATE. M.S. Columbus,Ohio |

I've tried many, Firewalls and I think this is on Top of the list. It has a very easy to use and understand Interface and sets up in just minutes. I have run this Firewall through dozens of Test Sites AND ONLY SYGATE HAS COME THROUGH WITH A "STEALTH STATUS" (Not Bad For FREE Software).In Plain English: "ZONE ALARM & OTHERS ARE GOOD, BUT 'SYGATE' OUT PERFORMS THEM AND IS JUST A BETTER PRODUCT!!! |

This product is absulutely wonderful. I have tried quite a few other firewalls and I can honestly say this is the best of them all. It doesn't interupt the users surfing experience, it simply takes care of the problem quietly in the background. The ability to track down an attacker is also a very nice touch. The people at Sygate really know what they are doing. Thank you Sygate! |
