Important

Outpost Firewall uses the first instance of a rule having criteria that match the system's activity and ignores all subsequent ones. The rules in the firewall rules list are processed in the order in which they are listed. Once a rule is matched, searching of the rules list stops. In other words, any other rules that match this type of communication are ignored, if they are further on the list than the first rule that matches.
