• "Low maintenance but still powerful"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro 2.5 (375.374)

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.

  "OUTSTANDING FIREWALL."

  by adrian on February 26, 2005

  Pros: I have been running Outpost for a while now and have to say ,you just don't get better than this.The update to this new version was so seamless it happened without me even noticing the upgrade until later that day.

  Nothing gets past this,test it where you like. With the component control set the slightest change on your system is flagged up instantly.The amount of logging information is incredible and would be very useful to techs if you ever had a problem,I find that I can learn on a daily basis,more and more what goes on in a PC and on the net.It is well worth giving this firewall a long trial and seeing its capabilities. I have no regrets about buying this level of protection and will definitely be buying and installing it on my new system when it arrives next week.

  Cons: Cannot find any issues at all as yet,Outpost has not caused any problems for me.

  "First rate firewall, but not without some issues."

  by clean freak on February 17, 2005

  Pros: Superb firewall for filtering data - especially outgoing! Plug-ins allow control of: ads, pop-ups, cookies, refferals, java, active scripting and more! The logging capabilities are excellent as well. Overall, very difficult for any kind of trojan malware to penetrate this firewall's solid defences.

  Cons: Thank you Liam,_Last_One_Standing for pointing out a problem that I encountered a month ago regarding Outpost's inability to handle Webroot's Spysweeper. Indeed, the firewall will block all Internet access when you launch Spwsweeper, but there is a fix as follows: Under "Options" select: Application | Components, then de-select: "Block network access if memory was modified by another process". This will resolve the problem but, unfortunately, at the slight cost of better firewall security because now if a trojan attempts to modify your pc's memory, the firewall won't detect it! Furthermore, I don't know if this is a Spysweeper issue or Outpost's issue, but I do think Outpost should be able to resolve the problem by allowing trusted applications to modify the memory. Unfortunately, when I emailed Agnitum customer support, they just gave me the work-around I stated above!

  Finally, the other issue is that it doesn't handle XP's Fast User switching very well either, as sometimes it will block Internet access when switching between different users, requiring the firewall to be shut down/restarted to regain Internet access. If Agnitum can just work out these two bugs, they'll easily have the best pc firewall on the market.

  "Out of the box simplicity makes this a great firewall"

  by Gemkeepur on March 23, 2005

  Pros: The ability to either run it straight from its defaults or to get straight to the innards & tweak it to suit any system configuration is imho the key strength of this product.

  If you also need additional help then there are plenty of support boards and if all else fails then emailing the tech support gets you a fairly quick and very helpful response.

  I have tried most other main firewalls & have to say that Agnitum Outpost outshines them all.

  "Be Careful"

  by peachnaz on April 8, 2005

  Cons: I downloaded this yesterday. All went well. When I restarted my computer it locked up. I restarted again and my computer opened in safe mode. I could not get anything on it to work. I finally uninstalled Outpost. My computer is now working however everything on my desktop including web pages are HUGE and I can not seem to correct it. Please be careful with this program
