Monkey Proof Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 i uninstalled ZoneAlarm Pro and trying out the Outpost Pro 30 day trial. i found ZoneAlarm was a little buggy and it also messed with my icons in the task tray. so now i'm configuring my settings on Outpost and i cannot figure out how to make my ports stealth. any ideas? everything else seems easy as far as setting rules and all that, definitely easier to setup then Norton.

Administrator Tarun Posted March 4, 2006 Administrator Share Posted March 4, 2006 Outpost Pro automatically runs you in Stealth mode. My Internet > System Settings Under Firewall Mode: Stealth should be selected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Proof Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 according to my settings everything is stealth but when i run firewall wall test the results come back as ports are closed but not stealth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMac Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 reinstall it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Tarun Posted March 6, 2006 Administrator Share Posted March 6, 2006 Yep, make a desktop shortcut to the uninstall file and then edit the shortcut properties to have /u after it. It will read like so: "C:\Program Files\Agnitum\Outpost Firewall\install.exe" /u Then, be sure to turn off your anti-virus/anti-malware (or go to safe mode) and reinstall and it should work.
