  "Robust Firewall"

  by Reborn master on April 17, 2007

  Pros: This firewall works as good as Zonealarm pro.Good interface.Blocks hackers and intrusions and provides inbound and outbound protection.It can resist direct attacks against firewall.Passed most of the firewall tests.It also provides protection against Trojans and spyware.

  Cons: It didn't work well with some antivirus and antispyware programs.

  "Most confusing to use!"

  by Phantomito on May 31, 2007

  Pros: It installed and uninstalled without problems and seemed to function as said.

  Cons: I consider myself quite experienced in using software but here I found the interface hard to understand and the messages most confusing. It is difficult to decide which option to go for when a decision is to be made. The learning process is very time consuming. The user interface needs a complete redesign to make it as easy to use as possible. ZoneAlarm and Sygate would be good examples to follow.

  "Passed all leak tests. Additional set up needed for some firewalls."

  by JerzyT on June 7, 2007

  Pros: You can configure it according to your needs. I checked and it passed all leak tests. In my opinion it is easy to use.

  Cons: Takes too much resources.

  "Great Firewall"

  by bournex on July 1, 2007

  Pros: I truly don't understand how some people can say this software is not user friendly. On the contrary, It is extremely user friendly. It has a clean and straight forward interface. All the options are there in front of your face to with them whatever you wish. Of course, if you don't know what to do with them, that's a different story.

  Outpost firewall comes loaded with pre-defined rules, meaning that it automatically makes adjustments so that most of your programs that access the internet, can do so with very little if not without any intervention at all from the user. Beyond that, it allows you to create your own rules, a process which can be a bit cryptic at first but if you think about what the software does, it all makes sense right away. I'm not a systems admin by any means, btw.

  Finally, the plugins... Outpost's answer to logging. Great and highly customizable... Say your computer encounters a lot of Rst attack attempts, well you can create a filter (or preset) under the Attack Detection plugin that tells you how many Rst attacks attempts you've received in the last 5 minutes... You can also customize the plugin to define how it behaves. It's really quite easy.

  Cons: I've owned Outpost for almost a year and has worked great for me. My only complaint is that I noticed for the first time and as of a few days ago, Outpost suddenly was consuming large amounts of memory (150Mb roughly) and behaving very slowly. Clicking its menus and trying to access its options would take about 20 sec delay before responding. I thought that was odd. I looked in forums and no one seems to mention anything about this issue.

  Mind you, the issue was happening with the previous version. Everything seems to be back to normal after upgrading to a new version (4.0.1024.700) than the one posted here (4.0.1007.591 - the version number in the title is actually incorrect, too)

  I still give it a 5 stars because overall, it is one of the best firewall softwares I've tried... cheers.

  "BEST Firewall i ever Used for XP"

  by mack_guy911 on March 18, 2007

  Pros: Great firewall I tested all the leaktest by my self and it passed all of them i dont compare with it other firewall because i dont use any other firewall and i am very satisfied with the product

  its only drawback was its antyspyware which improved very well and catch many spy wares which other missed.

  all i say you should give it a try and see your self.

  and if you feel test your self form sites like

  "firewallleaktester"

  "pcflank"

  Cons: None
