It's not going to stop working just because they've stopped updating it. A firewall's updates are not like a virus-checker's updates: it doesn't need constant attention with "signatures" or anything. The last free version will do the job just fine for years to come.

Kerio's firewall is awesome, I like it way better than ZoneAlarm's & Symantec's offerings. I've heard good things about Tiny so maybe I'll try that one out now..

your firewall then so others can keep it updated, remove the bloat etc. and destroy your competitors. I've seen @Guard go from a decent firewall to a bloated monster meshed with half a dozen other program nobody wants or needs and a price tag from less than $20.00 (forever) to $80.00 plus a yearly subscription fee ensuring it continues to bloat further.
