@Parkinsond I thought you mean a mode, when connections are paused.

But I see from other thread that you use Simplewall, and it cannot pause connections.

Can you please elaborate what you mean by "Ask (interactive) mode"?

I mean get notified when app or service try to connnect to internet, with the option to choose allow or deny connection.

Fort shows an alert popup for new detected app, in which you can to choose allow or deny it. Also you can see app's connections in the popup.

But the alert does not show for already allowed/blocked apps.

Last time I used fort firewall, I did not find popup like WFC or simplewall, just a yellow triangle attenion mark for newly added app to connection, with no allow or deny selection.
To deny, I have to go into the main windows and search for apps with yellow marks, then deny one by one.

The alert popup was added in v3.11.0, 2024-01-31.

Hello there,
your software interest me,
does your firewall work without windows security defender in an LTSC client installation ?
and in the same time, can it be self blocked if we don't want any IN or OUT IP connection ?
and against a DDOS attack, is it solid ?

 

[tnodir]

does your firewall work without windows security defender in an LTSC client installation ?

Yes, it does not depend on windows defender.

and in the same time, can it be self blocked if we don't want any IN or OUT IP connection ?

Yes, of course.

and against a DDOS attack, is it solid ?

No protection against DDOS attacks.
