Jetico firewall tops in "leaktest"?

(1/3) > >>

JavaJones:
I was surprised to not see much discussion of this test site or Jetico as a firewall, though I know some people here use it. According to this website Jetico passes the greatest number of their "leak tests". Interesting results. Even more so because Jetico is free! Anyone here user Jetico and have some thoughts?

interesting.. might be worth another look.

Version 2 beta came out in august (last release before then was 1 year ago - yikes).

AdIyhc:
I used Jetico before. So many pop ups!! It's good but usability is nil.
Not for the faint hearted. Sometimes the pop ups will crash the pc. So it's best to install Jetico first and then one by one your other apps.

But that's version 1. Version 2 may be much better since it will be shareware.

JavaJones:
Ah, I hadn't heard about v2 becoming shareware. I imagine it is so secure because it doesn't let *anything* through without notifying the user. So, very secure, but a pain in the butt. :D Outpost also scored well however, and additionally on another test on the site that Jetico *didn't* score very well on. So Outpost may be the best of both worlds, once they work out the 4.x issues. Presumably 4.x will perform better on the "leaktests" too since it has functionality specifically built for doing so (according to that page).

AdIyhc:
Don't forget about comodo. Huge fanbase and I think it has good results too.

Off Topic: Is leaktest that important? Or will stealth do just fine? Was following the firewall trend and bought LooknStop but now I just use all-in-one programs.
