Setting up Outpost Firewall

up and displays its icon in the system tray. Select Background if you want Outpost
Firewall to run in invisible mode, without its system tray icon or any of its dialog
windows. This option is provided for two reasons: to save system resources and for a
parent or systems administrator to block unwanted traffic or content in a way that's
completely hidden from a user. If you do not want Outpost Firewall to run automatically at
startup, select Disabled.
The Miscellaneous area of the dialog is where you can select Minimize to System Tray to
not have a button placed on the task bar for Outpost Firewall’s main window whenever it
is minimized. Instead of this, to see Outpost Firewall’s main window, simply double-click
Outpost Firewall’s system tray icon or right-click it and select Show.
If Minimize main window on close is selected, then whenever you click the close button
only Outpost Firewall’s main window will be closed, not the firewall. In this case, to
shutdown Outpost Firewall, right-click Outpost Firewall’s system tray icon and select
Exit.
The Password protection section lets you select to have your Outpost Firewall settings
protected by
password so only you can change its configuration.
3.3 Selecting a Policy
One of the most useful and important features of Outpost Firewall is its usage modes. A
usage mode is the basic attitude you want Outpost Firewall to have in doing its job of
policing your computer’s access to and by the Internet or any other network your computer
may be connected to. The usage mode of Block most, for example, gives Outpost
Firewall a particularly strict attitude but Allow most makes Outpost Firewall very
trusting.
Here are the different usage modes:
Icon Mode Description
Stop all
All network connections are blocked.
Block most All network connections are blocked except those you explicitly allowed.
Rules Wizard The first time each application is run, allows you to determine how an
application will interact with the network.
Allow most All network connections are allowed except those you explicitly blocked.
Disable All network connections are allowed.
The icon shown for each mode is what is displayed in the system tray as the Outpost
Firewall icon. You can tell at a glance what mode Outpost Firewall is in by looking at its
system tray icon.
