The only one thing that the free version doesnt do is block specific ip addresses though there are ways around that.

I would disagree with that im affriad.
OutPost does not cut it now, the way they are managing devlopment of new versions is causing huge problems.
No updates to fix serious knowen issues are been released, it is famous for BSODs under XP, the filtering and ad blocking causes alot of problems with system reboots or broswer hangs.
Version 2 will be great but i urge you to hold off until then. It is a great product but version 1 is not getting support or attention that it needs.
If you look in the OP community you will see how users feel right now.

Now, i recommend going for Kerio, not without its problems also but at least in its current version its stable, small and easy on resources, its a firewall simple as that, you dont get web filtering or ad blocking or all the other addons they stick in firewalls now a days
Another popular choice seems to be Look and Stop but i have never used that product.
