Do you run virtual machines on any of your systems? The required dynamic
rules are the primary use case it solves very well. It also works as a
desktop firewall somewhat less ideally. Since it has an API, it may someday
be a full-featured dynamic server firewall. But, otherwise, it's probably
not what you want for anything complicated -- and mostly harmless for
anything simple.
