Has Anyone Heard About Look'n Stop Firewall ?

[leonidas]

I've been told it was free & efficient. Is that true?

Sorry, I can't say if it is or not. It's french and I don't know O La La.

maybe this would help, it's not O La La. http://spyblocker-software.com/IPB/index.php?showtopic=6

PC-Flank (I don't know if they are reliable) ran numerous tests (However quite outdated now: 27 march 2002), and says it's the best of all firewall! Link (http://www.pcflank.com/art21.htm)

QUOTE:

* - Yalta Enhanced Test
** - Look'n'Stop 2.03b3 with default settings fails all tests except Yalta but if you activate the Application Filtering feature Look'n'Stop will pass all five Leak Tests!
*** - Sygate Pro 5.0 with default settings fails to block Firehole but with enabled "DLL authentication" feature this firewall will stop Firehole.
**** - Zone Alarm Pro with default settings also fails Firehole test but if you move "Program control" slider to the "High" level the program will turn-on its "dll-files control" feature and will pass the test by blocking Firehole' dll-file.

Standings

Each firewall was given a point for each passed Leak test and here are the standings:

A firewall is only good if it does what you want it to do.
