Outpost Firewall to ask you each time an application that is not on the allowed list

5.6 Using Macro Addresses
Outpost Firewall Pro allows you to specify macro addresses in rule descriptions to facilitate
the creation of rules. Instead of having to type IP addresses manually while creating rules
for your Intranet communications or some Windows-based services (for example, DNS),
you can use suggested macro definitions, to designate local networks as
LOCAL_NETWORK, all DNS servers as DNS_SERVERS, etc.
Outpost Firewall Pro automatically recognizes current macro values so you do not need to
change host and subnet addresses whenever network adapter settings are changed. For
example, a mobile user's protection will always be active since the rules on his laptop work
regardless of what network he is connected to.
When you specify a local or remote address, you can select one of the following macros:
DNS_SERVERS. Specifies addresses of all DNS servers in your network.
LOCAL_NETWORK. Specifies addresses of all your local networks and addresses from
the broadcast ranges available on your computer.
WINS_SERVERS. Specifies addresses of all WINS servers on your network.
GATEWAYS. Specifies addresses of all gateway servers for your network.
MY_COMPUTER. Specifies all IP addresses your computer has in different networks,
including loopback addresses.
