The reason I'm asking is because I use PC Tools Firewall Plus & despite the fact I've set it to allow SA:MP full inbound & outbound access I have problems such as only one official server appearing in the official tab & getting the ban bug when joining servers. & please don't suggest ZoneAlarm because I've had it in the past & it causes Firefox to hang.

Problem has been resolved. I switched to Online Armor Free & it fixed the problem.

In other words, if you use a free firewall & you don't experience any connection issues with SA:MP (ban bug all the time or servers not appearing on the "Internet" & "Official" lists) then please post the name of your firewall here. Thanks.
