5.1 Introduction
Our engineers configured Outpost Firewall’s default settings to give optimum protection
for most computer systems and networks. Outpost Firewall was designed from the start to
be effectively used in its pre-configured state even by computer novices who need not
know about network protocols to have their computer system safeguarded against
malicious applications or web sites.
However, we also wanted Outpost Firewall to be fully configurable to advanced users,
those individuals who understand networking technology.
This chapter is provided so advanced users can effectively tweak Outpost Firewall and
learn about its most powerful features.
Note: A good rule of thumb when using Outpost Firewall is to keep the settings Outpost
Firewall suggests if you do not have a particular reason and the knowledge to change
them.
5.2 Saving and Loading Configurations
Outpost Firewall has very many settings. Being able to save several different
configurations of these settings lets you:
• Create different configurations for you and your family or colleagues.
• Prevent your children from accessing unwanted sites (sex, games, bomb making),
from playing online games or chatting.
• Switch, using one mouse click, between "Work", "Rest", "I am away", "Block
Everything", and "Children" configurations.
• Back up your configurations.
A configuration is the state Outpost Firewall is in at any time. To create a new
configuration, just change whatever settings you want and then go to the File menu (it is
recommended to save your current configuration prior to this), select Save Configuration
As and then enter the name you want to give that configuration. The File menu command
New Configuration allows you to create a new configuration prompting whether you want
to specify all the Outpost Firewall settings manually or use the automatic configuration.
The default configuration file Outpost Firewall uses is named configuration.cfg, located
in the Outpost Firewall installation folder. You can create several different configuration
files simply by giving each a different name.
