ZA is not a firewall, it's a host-based packet filter and a pretty lousy
one.

Obviously it's not serious, as tries to employ application control
without any sandbox or whatsoever, autoblocking, strange data filtering
(which actually results in publishing the seemingly-protected data),
content blocking with inapprociate methods... The vendor is a scumbag
(due to both ridiculous claims about his software and the underhand
spying) and the quality of the software is very poor.
