Outpost Firewall Pro 4

Feature Set:

One of Outpost Firewall Pro’s unique features is the ability to block not only banners and ads, but images too. You can block images by size (if your favorite website has one troubling image, this is a good way to block it). If you want to make sure your children don’t view any pornographic images, you can block all images instead. While this setting didn’t block every image, it did block most of them.

Another add-on filter feature Outpost Firewall Pro offers is the ability to block by content. You can create a list of words or even website names you’d like to block. This blocked word/website list will help ensure that members of your family can’t gain access to sites containing words you find offensive, in context.

Some other firewall software programs have similar abilities to block content; however, they fail to let you protect those settings with a password, making it easy for someone to change your blocking criteria.

With the purchase of add–ons (at extra cost), you can increase the power of Outpost Firewall Pro. You can add the ability to track an intruder’s IP address with PC Flank WhoEasy. Or you can access a plug–in called Blockpost that blocks adware and spyware. Super Stealth can give you added protection from hacker attacks. HTTP log can give you a simple list or a detailed account of the client’s request and the server’s exact answer.

Outpost Version 4 includes an “Entertainment Mode” that prevents firewall pop–up while certain applications are running like DVDs or Internet Games.

Ease of Use:

Outpost Firewall Pro’s control panel is designed with simplicity in mind. From the main screen of the control panel you can track all your network activity, the number of ports open and the application currently accessing each port.

When you spot an unfamiliar application in your ports, you can right–click the application to block access instantly. Or you can create custom rules for applications, for example, some applications require specific ports to be open. You can easily default to open necessary ports for a specific software application.

Ease of Installation:

Outpost Firewall Pro will allow you to set up your home computer to work with multiple users automatically. During installation, you can create unique settings for specific computers on your network if you want.

Reliability:

Once you learn to adjust the security settings for Outpost Firewall Pro, you’ll be able to become invisible on the Internet—you’ll only be seen when you want to be seen. Outpost Firewall Pro was one of the few software programs that passed every single firewall test we performed, including the refer test. The refer test checks to see if the firewall allows general computer information (such as your computer, browser and location) to be seen by others online. Outpost Firewall Pro is a dependable package.

Outpost Firewall Pro Version 4 has improved leak and spyware protection. Outpost's new self–protection mode is designed to prevent deactivation by Trojans, viruses and spyware, including keystroke simulation.

Help/Support:

Outpost Firewall Pro has an excellent help document that will show you everything that you need to know about the software. The Help documentation is broken up into differet chapters and there is a table of contents that will help you to navigate to the correct spot.

Summary:

Like our #1 product, the creators of Outpost Firewall Pro look beyond standard firewall protection (monitoring intruders and hiding your computer online). Outpost Firewall Pro offers other ways to protect you from more subtle intruders from everyday Internet use, such as cookies, banners, ads and pornography. A complete package, Outpost Firewall Pro controls these nuisances for you.
