One of Outpost Firewall's most useful and effective design strategies is the employment of plug-ins. These modules can be created by third party developers and easily added to increase Outpost Firewall's capabilities. If you are interested in developing Outpost Firewall plug-ins, please visit http://www.agnitum.com/products/outpost/developers.html for samples, tutorials and the developer's forum.
Outpost Firewall also automatically downloads latest plug-ins announcements from the Agnitum site to keep you aware of the plug-in updates.
If you wish to disable this feature, right-click Plug-ins from the Tree panel and clear Enable plug-ins information download option.
The following topics describe how to use Outpost Firewall to control plug-ins:
Plug-Ins are absolutely independent from each other and the main Outpost Firewall module. Any rules that you create for an application in Outpost Firewall, such as the Trusted Zone settings, will not influence or apply to any plug-in's functionality.
