Can using a Firewall speed up internet??
    #3118407 - 09/10/04 12:18 PM (19 years, 8 months ago)

I was just wondering, I installed Outpost and noticed my pages and system is running a lot quicker. Is that normal? Thanks.

I don't see how one could speed things up. Maybe you have some spyware on your computer and the firewall is preventing it from "calling home", freeing up some system resources.

in outpost, look at the plugins you have running. the Domain name cache and the other ad/content filters will definitely speed browsing up.

outpost pro rules.
