Is blowfish secure ?

Hello,

I use a software called Tribalweb.net (Looks like VPN) for exchange with my work. I ask authors what encryption they use, they answer blowfish

Is it a good encryption ? May I trust it ?

Thanks

Blowfish is a decent encryption scheme. Here's the author's website: http://www.schneier.com/blowfish.html

Might want to ask them what bit encryption they are using. I think the link said it goes as high as 448 bit. They higher the better.

My Trillian IM uses blowfish encryption. It is 128 bit.
