This firewall offers the rare combination of a powerful feature set and an easy-to-use design. During installation, the program finds all network-enabled applications on your PC and lets you set security policies for each. This eliminates the endless pop-up boxes you get with many firewalls, wherein you must allow or disallow certain processes from accessing your machine. We appreciate the ability to fine-tune all aspects of network usage using rules, and the easy-to-analyze logs are another big plus. In our tests, the firewall demonstrated good performance, successfully blocking several Trojan horses from our PC. Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro also enhances your Web-surfing experience by blocking pop-ups, Flash ads, and banners, as well as potentially dangerous elements on pages. Persons looking for a robust yet low-maintenance firewall should take a close look at Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro.Publisher's description
From Agnitum :Powerful combination of firewall and antispyware to address latest Internet security problems. Agnitum's Outpost PRO protects you from hackers, malware, ID thefts, unwelcome connections and other threats. New version 4.0 "knows" virtually all data theft techniques in use today by trojans, spyware, worms, viruses and other malware. Use of these data theft techniques can be simulated with so-called "leak tests" - special utilities that test how well personal firewalls prevent data leakage. Currently 18 leak tests are available, and several new ones are in development. New Outpost 4.0 passes all the leak tests available today, as well as some that have not yet been released.Besides the anti-leak protection, there is also Outpost's new ability to protect itself against being deactivated by malware, and stronger anti-spyware. Plus, some usability enhancements in the ImproveNet service were made.

Version: Agnitum Outpost Firewall PRO 4.0.964.582.059
"Need a pilots license. No simple settings."
Pros: Did what it said. BLOCKED EVERYTHING on startup. Including all connected PCs to my modem, antivirus and spyblocker programs..
Cons: AS above, plus there was no simple way to interpret how to configure this program to get reconnected. After reading the instructions for half an hour, I still was a bit confused and still couldn't get my selected programs reconnected.
Summary: There is nothing really nice to say about this apart from that it works and blocks every thing, including what you don't want blocked, including all networking, other programs such as your virus and adblocker programs etc etc.. There is no "Allow" o... read more >>
