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 Mac.

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?

Why IPNetSentryX?
Unlike many other firewall products, IPNetSentryX is not simply a GUI front end to UNIX ipfw. It is a full in kernel filtering engine that offers features not available anywhere else and compliments Apple's built-in firewall (you can use both side-by-side if you wish).
Some unique features:
- Detailed logging including bandwidth accounting.
- Traffic Discovery to see the traffic on your network.
- Intrusion detector and triggers to limit unwanted abuse.
- Ethernet bridging to support transparent firewalls.
- TCP Rate limiting to throttle the rate of specific services.
- Network Kernel implimentation is wicked fast.
IPNetSentryX is not trying to compete with Apple's GUI to UNIX ipfw, it's an independent implementation offering capabilities others don't.

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.
