[QUOTE="Dashke, post: 1039114, member: 1209"] Since the existing thread with updates does not make all the functionality clear, I wanted to create a new one with some more information for the forum members and potential users. Fort Firewall is a user-friendly yet advanced security tool for Windows 7 and above. It offers easy-to-use protection for beginners and customizable options for experienced users. [HR][/HR] Fort Firewall employs its own kernel driver, which is based on the Windows Filtering Platform (WFP). WFP is a set of system services and APIs provided by Microsoft that allows developers to create network filtering applications for Windows. By using its own kernel driver based on WFP, Fort Firewall can efficiently and securely filter network traffic, ensuring high performance and reliability. This approach provides a solid foundation for Fort Firewall's advanced features and enables seamless integration with the Windows operating system. [HR][/HR] It offers seamless Windows Explorer integration, making it even easier for users to manage and block applications. With this integration, users can simply right-click on a file in Windows Explorer and access Fort Firewall's options directly from the context menu. This allows users to quickly set up custom rules, block or unblock applications, and adjust settings without needing to open the main Fort Firewall interface.
