DESCRIPTION
IPNetSentry is a simple and intelligent security application which protects your Macintosh from outside Internet intruders. This is particularly important for Macintosh users who have cable modem, DSL, or another high-speed Internet service where connections can be maintained and left unattended for hours (or days) at a time.

Unlike most other Internet security products, IPNetSentry does not erect barriers for the safe use of your Internet connection. There is no need to "punch holes" in a firewall for specific applications you may wish to run. Instead, IPNetSentry silently and intelligently watches for suspicious behavior, and when triggered, invokes a solid filter which completely bans the potential intruder from your Macintosh.

DOCTOR INFINITY  Well, this question was posted one year and nine months ago yet the developer has NOT replied. Perhaps the developer's silence speaks volumes, no?

Unless I see any evidence to the contrary, I'd say that if you've got OS 10.4 installed and have its firewall enabled, UDP blocked and Stealth enabled,

IPNetSentry is superfluous......unnecessary.

Anyone disagree? Hmmm?  (Version 1.6c3)

SIG  I've got a really stupid question. Someone help me understand. Why would this be needed at all if stealth mode in Tiger was being used? In pinging my computer via 'test' of this software, there is zero result, therefore, my IP doesn't show up, or shows up in the software itself as 0.0.0.0. So I'm lead to believe through all the testing I tried at the online site, that this thing doesn't really do anyone any good, or am I just totally lost? Simply curious. I would imagine for anyone not using Tiger, this could be pretty nifty.

Sorry, I simply have yet to see any issues with simple firewall settings, blocking UDP, enabling stealth (especially this) and I'm wondering what good this software actually does. None of the testing I did ever received a result at all. My computer was essentially not there for the online test system to indicate anything. IPNnetSentryX showed zero intruder results in the tab, nor notified me of any attempt to 'break in'. I don't get it.

Please respond. I'd like to learn more.

I won't provide a 'star rating' review as a result, as I feel any rating I may give would be unfair to the developers of a neat idea.   (Version 1.3c6)
