Outpost Pro Firewall ?

[Monkey Proof]

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.

Outpost Pro automatically runs you in Stealth mode.

My Internet > System Settings

Under Firewall Mode: Stealth should be selected.

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.

[Tarun]

Which test are you running?

PC Flank did TCP Port 1 and all returned stealthed.

Did you follow the directions the message provided?

[JMac]

reinstall it?

[Tarun]

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.
