| 53091 | 2002-06-08 00:59:00 | Hi I have been having connection problems, and web pages have been slow to load. I know Paradise have issues, as does this Press F1 site, but - as an experiment - I disabled Outpost and, even though ads are now loading, the pages *appear* to be loading quicker. Interestingly, Paradise hasn't kicked me off once whilst Outpost has been disabled. I wonder therefore if some of my problems are related to Outpost? Anyone else finding this? Should I go back to Zone Alarm? J. |

| 53093 | 2002-06-08 05:01:00 | Hi Jester, I'm using outpost with paradise and have not noticed any slowdown. I'm in the countyside too so it can be a little sensitive to slowdowns. |

| 53095 | 2002-06-08 13:56:00 | I use outpost personally but I beleive it is a matter of finding the best firewall for your system. I have seen computers with zonealarm slow right down and get good speeds with outpost and also seen the exact opposite on other computers. I suggest give both a try and see which one you are happy with as you are the one that is using it. | Guest (0) | ||
| 53096 | 2002-06-08 23:29:00 | Cheers for all your replies. I actually think I have something blocked in Outpost that my be hindering the communication between myself and my isp. I am going to clear all the rules and settings and allow/block them again from scratch as they come up. Thanks again J. |
