I've been using the Sygate Personal Firewall for years and I've been very happy with it. However, now that it's discontinued, I'm looking around for alternatives.

ZoneAlarm is awful -- too "You're a stupid user and don't need to know what I'm doing". It's intrusive, incompatible with some software that I use and, most of all, blocks VNC, which I need.

I looked at Keri, but it also blocks VNC.

I'm trying Agnitum Outpost Pro and it looks pretty good. It's very customizable, rules-oriented, works with VNC and, at least so far, doesn't seem to be interfering with anything.

Anyone ever use it? Opinions?
