Your
Benefits |
| 1.
Security and Privacy |
| Components
Control (Anti-Leak) |
This
feature monitors each component of each run making it impossible
for a rogue virus to be injected into a trusted application. |
| Stateful Inspection |
This
firewall technology keeps track of active TCP and UDP sessions
and is more secure than packet filtering because it opens
a narrower path for traffic. |
| Boot Up Protection |
During
Windows' start-up, Outpost Firewall 2.0 begins protecting
your system before any malicious program has a chance to be
loaded. Outpost Firewall 2.0 protects your system from first
start up to final shut down. |
| Password protection |
This
protects your settings so they cannot be changed without your
permission. |
| Flash banner
blocking |
Improved
advertisement blocking removes 150% more ads (including Flash
banners) than the previous version. |
| 2.
Control and Performance |
| Advanced logging
system |
The
database driven logging system gives you full access to the
history of your connections with capabilities never before
seen in any personal firewall log. You can view, filter, copy
and export logs for future analyses. |
| Multiple configurations |
Create different configurations for you and your family
members or colleagues.
Prevent your children from chatting online or accessing
unwanted sites (sex, games, bomb making).
Switch configurations between "Work", "Rest", "I am away",
"Block Everything", and "Children" using one mouse click.
Easily back up your configurations.
|
| Apply rules
without need of interface |
Can block unwanted traffic or content in a way that's
completely hidden from users.
Can run as a service without need of interface, thus saving
computer resources
|
| Advanced rule
creation features |
Specify time intervals so applications can be allowed
or blocked depending on the time of day and/or day of week.
Specify system and application independent rules
"Running application if rule is triggered" allows the
launching of any application or the playing of any sound
or even a shutdown of the computer! For example, if your
children decide to play an online game, then a warning text
from the parent can be shown and the online game is blocked.
"Reporting of important activities" shows a message box
whenever a particular rule is triggered. For example, a
warning message appears whenever someone connects to your
PC or when spyware tries to send your personal information
over the Internet.
