<p>OPEN DOOR NETWORKS SHIPS THE DOORSTOP X FIREWALL</p>
<p>ASHLAND, OR. -- July 12, 2005 -- Open Door Networks Inc. today announced<br />
that it was shipping version 1.0 of its DoorStop X firewall for Mac OS X<br />
10.3 and later. Previously available as a public beta release, DoorStop X<br />
returns Open Door to a market it pioneered seven years ago. The DoorStop X<br />
firewall provides important Internet security features beyond those of the<br />
firewall built into Mac OS X, while at the same time being easier to use<br />
than any firewall on the market.</p>
<p>To secure their machines, Mac users simply download DoorStop X and<br />
double-click the application. A built-in setup assistant walks the user<br />
through the basics of configuring and activating firewall protection. By<br />
default, the setup assistant blocks and logs all service-level access<br />
attempts to the user's machine. For users who wish to selectively but<br />
securely allow access to certain services on their machine, DoorStop X<br />
provides easy-to-use lists of most common Mac services. Other features of<br />
DoorStop X include:</p>
<p>* Ability to allow or deny service-by-service access from specific<br />
machines, Internet address ranges, or all of a user's home network</p>
<p>* Default settings for any service not specifically configured by the user</p>
<p>* Full logging of allowed and/or denied access attempts</p>
<p>* Optional blocking and logging of low-level "UDP" and other access attempts.</p>
<p>Although Mac OS X has included a basic firewall for some time, even Mac OS<br />
10.4 Tiger's version of that firewall lacks the features required for many<br />
consumer and office uses. DoorStop X logs all access attempts from the<br />
Internet and provides other advanced features missing from Tiger's<br />
firewall. "Mac OS X's built-in firewall is a good introduction to the need<br />
for firewall protection," said Alan Oppenheimer, president of Open Door<br />
Networks. "DoorStop X picks up where the built-in firewall leaves off,<br />
providing critical features like full logging and the ability to<br />
selectively allow access from other machines."</p>
<p>DoorStop X is particularly powerful when combined with Open Door's Who's<br />
There? Firewall Advisor, which it invokes automatically if installed. Who's<br />
There? displays DoorStop's log in an easy to understand format, analyzing<br />
that log in real-time and helping users notice those access attempts that<br />
they should be concerned with. Who's There? provides<br />
otherwise-hard-to-obtain details on all logged access attempts, and helps<br />
users take action to get attacks stopped.</p>
<p>Open Door Networks started the Macintosh firewall market in 1998 with its<br />
groundbreaking DoorStop 1.0 product, which ran on Mac OS 8.1 through,<br />
eventually, 9.2. Originally intended to protect Macintosh servers, DoorStop<br />
proved even more critical in protecting end-user Macs as they migrated to<br />
now-common broadband Internet connections. DoorStop technology was licensed<br />
by Symantec Corporation and used as the basis for their Norton Personal<br />
Firewall for Macintosh product.</p>
<p>A free, fully-functional evaluation release of DoorStop X, along with<br />
additional details on the product and Macintosh firewalls in general, is<br />
available at <a href="http://www.opendoor.com/doorstop/" title="http://www.opendoor.com/doorstop/">http://www.opendoor.com/doorstop/</a> . Through August 15,<br />
DoorStop X can be purchased off the site for the special introductory price<br />
of $39, or $59 when bundled with Who's There? Volume and site licenses and<br />
educational discounts are also available.</p>
<p>Open Door Networks, Inc. is a leading provider of Internet security<br />
solutions for the Macintosh. Open Door was founded in 1995 by Alan<br />
Oppenheimer, co-creator of the AppleTalk network system and co-author of<br />
the book "Internet Security for Your Macintosh: A Guide for the Rest of<br />
Us." Open Door's mission is to provide Macintosh users with Internet<br />
solutions that are as easy-to-use and as powerful as the Macintosh itself.<br />
Open Door Networks is based in Ashland, Oregon.</p>
