It will be released during the summer, but not now. So this...this is not v4.

Yes it is. :D

Hey Fade , whats your first impressions for this beta release?

It's in beta for God's sake. I am a beta tester and it's not released.

Sorry to hear that. But this is the real thing lol. You can not always win.

I am saying that what you have posted is a link to the BETA version.

I hope you have never version than this: 4.0.888.559. :D

It's not about the version dude, it's about the fact that it's a beta and you're thinking it's final. Some stupid guy around here posted it as if it was final and it's not.

Who's on first????

lol, who knows? anyway, the link posted by original author leads to old version. modified version number is at topic is bogus too. links i posted are valid.

yeap...the link's not good...it leads to outpost Outpost Firewall Pro 3.51.759.462...the good link to v.4 is the one given by Ludow and it's Outpost Firewall Pro 4.0.888.559...so this news is tottaly a fake...sorry to say so but this is the truth...take care !!!

I have said it's a fake since the beginning, but you seen to be too smart to understand that. However you can not report bugs on beta versions from Agnitum, so even if you post bugs on the forum they will not be taken into consideration. This one is pretty stable, but don't run it unless you know what you're getting into.

Agnitum's Outpost Firewall Pro 4.0 boasts even greater and more proactive security.

The following features are new:

- This version delivers proactive security functionality that blocks all currently-known techniques for bypassing security protection (leak tests), so it fully prevents sensitive data leakage from individual PCs. Its new Anti-Leak Control integrates Hidden Process Control and Process Memory Control technologies available in previous versions and provides a set of additional anti-leak features, such as control over another application, components injection, application window control, application launch with command line parameters among others.

- Its new spyware signature analyzer provides even more accurate spyware detection to increase users’ protection against all known and even unknown malware. The spyware scanner uses only the unchanged part of a file, not the entire file, to more precisely evaluate threats.

- Outpost Firewall Pro 4.0 uses a new, ultra powerful Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) 256 verification routine to identify applications while automatically creating network access rules through ImproveNet. This enables Outpost Firewall to be much more precise in identifying an application in order to ensure the creation and distribution of optimum rule sets. This algorithm replaces the old MD5 algorithm that could be bypassed by recently discovered hacking techniques, which, of course, significantly reduced the ability of this commonly used MD5 algorithm to protect users’ machines.

- Outpost Firewall Pro 4.0 makes it much easier to create the most secure configurations with its new macro definitions for applications and global rules. These can be used, for example, to designate the local network as LOCALNET or all DNS servers simply as DNS. This gives advanced users the ability to quickly define security rules for their Intranet communications as well as some Windows-based services (for example, DNS).

- Outpost Firewall Pro 4.0 also provides a specially designed Game mode that avoids distracting the user’s attention or interrupting a game yet still protects the system when you are playing or watching movies online. While in this mode, the protection is active without bothering the user with numerous prompts or alerts.

- For those who want to decrease the number of prompts, yet still want to have full control, Outpost Firewall Pro 4.0 suggests the Low level of Component Control, which does not warn about every changed or added application component, but warns only about executable files.

Version 4.0 improves overall usability and performance, and is available for 64-bit operating systems.

Thanks.. just tried with new leaktest and now Outpost passes :)

Thank you for the news (even if the v4 is still in beta stage it doesn't mean it's not good to know it has been released) and to salmonela for the changelog.
And how about resources?
Will those new features significantly impact on resources consumption?

Thanks to anyone who will reply to this, I don't have time to test it now by myself.

Is it someone tried Vista firewall?
That firewall is is very good.

Install KAV 6 without Web-AV and File-AV and KAV 5 without Network Protection active. You will not be less protected.

Hi!

May i ask some help? You said you can install KAV 6 without File-AV. Disabling File-AV sounds bit dangerous for me. Whats meaning of AV if you dont use real time scan?

Thanks,

ludow

I was going to say without Web-AV and Mail-AV. My mistake, sorry.

And this is the version number: Outpost Firewall Pro ver. 4.0.888.6607 (559). Whoever posted this is responsable for it.

Agnitum Outpost is the first personal firewall developed with Open Architecture. It is also the first personal firewall that supports plug-ins. Sample plug-ins are included to show how this revolutionary technology can easily be employed for such tasks as Intrusion Detection, Advertisement Blocking, Content Filtering, E-mail Guard, and Privacy Control. It is equipped with every feature a personal firewall should have. It is the most functional firewall in the world. Outpost supports all the latest security techniques and features such as: Full Stealth Mode, Anti-Leak, and MD5 Authentication.

DoDie thank you for posting.

As I have stated earlier this beta has no support so if any of you smart creatures go and ask for some support you will get nothing.

Anyone is trying A.O.F. with NOD32?

Not AOF v4 but AOF v3, and together they work like a charm!

I have a problem after updating the Windows with the latest Security updates, it was working fine but now it says unable to load the driver.

I removed it then install it again but the same, also I tried to install Tiny Personal Firewall AMD 64 Edition and it gives me the same.

Any solution for this problem please

Regards,

Yes, there is. Uninstall a hotfix. KB914784
