well 2.1.5 is still the best version anyway, i hate the way the firewall makers are bloating them by adding popup blockers and intrusion detection.

Shame, I always thought the Kerio firewalls were very good, far better than some i could mention ...

2.1.5 is better then 4.x, less bloat and for some reason 4.x doesnt stealth but just sets to closed.

If they can provide a version that doesn't barf when it encounters a machine that has the enterprise edition of McAfee 8 installed, I'll be happy (yes, the AV Scanner is legit).
