There used to be a setting in the features and options labeled "allow guests to browse the forum". But i dont see it anymore. It may have moved through the upgrades.

Only way at the moment would be via board permissions.

You would go to Admin -> Manage Boards
Then for each board modify it and say no guest access

I built something custom for your forum to block it all.
