Kerio vs. Zone Alarm - UDP Ports

Hello,

I recently needed to make ZoneAlarm (Free Edition) allow an incoming UDP Port, but it appeared that Zone Alarm Free Edition is unable to do this.

So I downloaded Kerio, and installed it. I did not make any adjustments to Kerio, and the application which needed data from the UDP port just started working.

My question: If ZoneAlarm by default blocks incoming UDP requests, and Kerio does not, then what security am I losing by using Kerio vs. ZoneAlarm?

Thanks

Exactly the difference between the two statements above.

Maybe it would be a good idea to drop both of them and use the Windows-Firewall, or you could read this:
