The Outpost Personal Firewall system is the world's most advanced firewall software, combining power and advanced features with a remarkably easy-to-use interface. To effectively use Outpost Firewall, you do not need to know the inner workings of Windows. Our engineers specifically configured the default settings for you. You can change any of these many settings at any time, of course.
A tremendous strength of Outpost Firewall is its modular organization. Outpost Firewall's capabilities are implemented as modules, files with the .dll extension. Each module is independent and can easily be added to an installed system.
These are some of Outpost Firewall's many strengths:
It can be used immediately after installation without any customization.
It lets you easily create a secure configuration very quickly using system prompts and default settings without interrupting your work.
The interface performs very complicated adjustments to the security of your system with just a few keystrokes.
Many settings can be used to restrict network access both to your computer and from your applications. Advanced users can also adjust service protocols and create special security facilities as required.
Stealth mode so other networked computers cannot even detect your computer.
The modular structure of the system lets you add new protective modules in the form of plug-ins.
The system is compatible with all versions of Windows 95/98/2000/ME/NT and XP.
It has impressively minimal system requirements.
You can restrict a list of applications having access to the network and specify acceptable protocols, ports and directions of access (incoming or outgoing) for each of these applications.
Block or restrict non-requested information being sent to your computer, in particular: Banner advertisements, Pop-up windows on web pages and inappropriate content data from specific web pages.
Restrict or prohibit the actions of program components built into web pages, such as Java applets, ActiveX scripts and JavaScript.
Restrict or prohibit the use of cookies.
Specify a zone of "friendly" IP addresses (available only in Outpost Firewall Pro. See Benefits of Outpost PRO), your own LAN for example. In this zone, Outpost Firewall does not control or restrict network exchange.
Check e-mail attachments.
Warns of any indication of someone attempting an attack of your computer from any other computer and instantly prevents access.
