Thanks a lot. Re-reading my previous post I noticed a bad wording, lol. I meant to say whether *.config file (generated when click on export) contains all settings and all rules?
That's how I understood your question Yes, .conf (not .config) contains all settings, all rules. Save'm under a "dated" filename for reference. The current .conf file sits in the Agnitum directory in case you wanted to know.
Stick with Outpost as it`s packed full of configuration options to fully lockdown your system, if need be? Regards Eck
I actually use port forwarding, but Eset IDS has already been shown to block EB. That does not mean another similar attack would also be blocked. Who knows what other vulnerabilities will be discovered over the coming months, and years.
Do you still have to purchase a license to use OF since its demise or will it work without one now since support is history?? I believe it allowed a short trial period without a license then lost many options and reverted to the free version if I remember correctly.
On trial. When the time comes I really don't know what to do about licensing. Don't know whether they still selling some or not.
OK thanks, let us know what happens after the trial, the worst that will happen is it probably will revert to all the "free" settings. I'm sure we can't buy a new license anymore...
So is it compatible with Windows 10? Also have you noticed the person that started this thread has never posted again? This person shows as being a member since 2012 and this is the only post ever made.
I would have to say NO. Temporarily, I uninstalled Outpost 9.3 from a Windows 10 computer to play with another firewall. When I went to reinstall Outpost several weeks later a big Microsoft warning popped up telling me that it was incompatible with Windows 10. That's about it.
Thats what I thought. I used Outpost with Win10 long time ago and had problems. I assumed something was fixed with all these positive forum posts. I was wrong.
Well, it ran fine for me for a long while and then Microsoft changed something in Windows 10. I later changed to ESET Smart Security which has a built-in firewall.
Hi, Just wanted to add some additional information... when you are choosing a Windows personal firewall you want to look at how the product is implemented... Microsoft Windows has multiple levels where filtering can be performed... NDIS, TDI, LSP, WFP and so forth. LSP and TDI based firewalls are somewhat easily bypassed... and these are also deprecated technologies. (Some of the products I see being mentioned here are TDI based firewalls... avoid those products.) When looking for a high quality firewall... you want a NDIS based firewall... especially on the older operating systems. -MessageBoxA
I am not going to publicly endorse any particular commercial firewall. Maybe someone reading this is about to make a product purchase for protecting some critical infrastructure... I just wanted to give out some information that could potentially assist in the decision making process. Just be aware that older products such as Agnitum Outpost is using the old TDI layer of packet filtering.
I'm pretty sure outpost has used NDIS hooking filter driver as well as TDI for donkeys years,for packet filtering.
