Agnitum Outpost vs. VMware

All versions of the Agnitum Outpost firewall that I ever used block bridged network traffic to and from VMware guest. Here is a quick workaround:

Add a system rule (i.e. Options -> System -> Global Application and System Rules). If the subnet of the network interface used by VMware’s bridged network is e.g. 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0, you’d use a rule like

Where the local host is: 192.168.1.*
Allow it

Ignoring that this is poor security practice, the only practical problem I’ve run into so far is that Outpost still drops IPSEC/ESP.
