I know recently we lost Sygte to Symantec and now Kerio has bitten the dust leaving.........?
Has anyone got any suggesions for an alternative or have the days or free firewalls (Bar the windows firewall) gone for good ?
Why change your firewall at all?
Did you ever update the actual firewall or ring the company for support on it - even if you did upgrade it did you realy get anything important from the new version - no would be my guess. So where's the problem in continuing to use it?
God knows how many years I've been on Kerio 2.x.x without a single problem, which is why I'll continue to use it. If I didn't look at these forums I'd be happily unaware that it was not supported any more, and I know many people with it installed that wouldn't know it was dead.
There's a morbid facination with updating to the latest version just seemingly because it's there, and if and when those updates dry up people swap to something else becuase they feel left out or something.
Don't be a sheep, just keep using whatever you like to use, it's not going to break just because a company has decided to cease supporting it.
