Switching to Stealth Mode

Normally, when your computer receives a connection request from another computer it lets the other computer know that this port is closed. In stealth mode, your computer will not respond, making it seem like it is not turned on or not connected to the Internet.

To switch Stealth mode on or off:

  1. Select Options

  2. Select System

  3. Select Stealth in Answer type field to make your computer "stealth" or select Normal to make your computer "visible".

Note

It is recommended that you keep Outpost Firewall in stealth mode unless you have some reason not to.
