Man, I should have downloaded this thing a long time ago! It is easy to configure, yet it has tons of options. Excellent product, but I'm sure most of you already knew that! ;)

If you run Outpost in Rules Wizard-Mode, this is what you should get (basic settings):
Leak Test will fail if you select "Stop all acitivities for this application" .Quote:
Firewall Leak Testing Utility requesting an outgoing connection with
Remote service: HTTP (TCP:80)
Remote adress: www.grc.com
Outpost Firewall should:
° Allow all activities for this application
° Stop all activities for this application
° Create rules using preset (Download manager/Browser/Other)
If you select to create your own rule, you'll be given this choice:
If you give IE access using the standard Outpost rule (allow all Outbound HTTP ports 80-83), Leak Test will succeed as it uses IE to send its data...Quote:
1. Select the Event for your rule:
- specified protocol
- specified direction
- specified remote host
- specified remote post
- specified local host
- specified local port
2. Select the Action for your rule:
- allow it
- deny it
- reject it
3. Rule Description:
Where the protocol is TCP
direction is Outbound
host is www.grc.com
remote port is HTTP
Outpost is as good as the rules you set for it... Problem is that not everybody wants to create a different rule for each site they visit...
My conclusion (I've been using Outpost since the first beta version): Outpost stops everything, unless you allow something to access the net... Seems trivial, but that's what it always comes down to...
No ICS here, I am on a LAN behind a firewall/NAT.Quote:

I am running it on an XP box and so far it is the cats meow. I love the fact that you can set your own rules with it. I will be sure to tell my friends about it. Peace.
