Rules

This section of the guide will show you how to create rules using Outposts preset rules for popular applications or how to create them manually from scratch. Once you are used to using Outpost you may feel the need to look at ways of tightening the preset rules that Outpost comes with. Agnitum create the rules to allow the applications to do all that they normally do even though you might not actually need all the rules. Global Application and System Rules are now also explained.

One of the most asked questions at the forums is how to allow only certain e-mails HTTP access so I decide to show you how you can create rules to allow only a few e-mails HTTP access.
