Outpost Pro is an excellent firewall. Very easy to use and easy to customize too. I'd recommend it more than ZoneAlarm Pro.

Only thing I miss in Outpost that ZoneAlarm Pro did a great job of was stopping some popups.

Thanks for the advise

Yesterday I did a security test with Shields UP http://grc.com/

All my ports are stealth.

But I will test outpost with Leaktest, can be found: http://grc.com/freepopular.htm

I use another tool to know the ports that are open and connected

Very handy and Freeware!

Maybe you can check this out! I sure will test Outpost!
