Open Door Networks produces the DoorStop X software-based firewall, which works with the Who's There? Firewall Advisor software.

  • Leopard introduces a number of new and changed services. DoorStop X has been updated to include protection options for new services such as Screen Sharing (through two different methods) and Remote Management.
  • DoorStop's protection of iChat's Screen Sharing service is particularly critical for anyone considering using that service.
  • DoorStop's Setup Assistant includes a number of Leopard-specific features, such as a "What's New in Leopard" pane and detailed information and options on iChat Screen Sharing.
  • Direct access to the most recent version of our book, with major new sections on Leopard features.
  • Service names match those used in Leopard.
  • General Leopard support and bug fixes.
