Serious Discussion Fort Firewall

[Fan-of-spyshelter]

But it's not possible now due MS doc requirements

are you talking about this ?

windows-driver-docs/windows-driver-docs-pr/install/windows-driver-signing-tutorial.md at staging · MicrosoftDocs/windows-driver-docs

The official Windows Driver Kit documentation sources - MicrosoftDocs/windows-driver-docs

[tnodir]

are you talking about this ?

Yes.

Also see How to submit signed drivers to Microsoft.
We've proceeded same trouble steps until "employee check" and gave up.
I'm not going to repeat this nonsense again soon.

It's not possible for individual developer to sign a driver for Windows.

I'd rather develop a program to sell for Mac. For $99 a year you get all the certificates, etc.

It's not possible for individual developer to sign a driver for Windows.

this will surely change very soon.

thanks for the link i will check all of these.

Quoted:
But...Fort Firewall, like Glasswire etc fails for its real purpose. To block outside connection. I installed Keyscrambler. Checked for updates. Fort Firewall allowed Keyscrambler to connect outside, after a second, Fort Firewall asked, do you want to block Keyscrambler to connect outside? But it already connected. Too late, RAT malwares etc can make a connection to C2. So, please, @tnodir implement a feature that does HALT/STOP, somethin like Netlimiter "blocker" firewall does.

What is your security setup these days?

The test was performed with default settings. No CFA, no increased block level, no ASR rules, etc. SAC was enabled. The tester highly recommends...

@tnodir Does zones support hosts file type blocklists? I could get Hagezi's Threat Intelligence feed in IP format but not for Windows native tracker list.

 

[tnodir]

Does zones support hosts file type blocklists?

No, it supports only IP format.

Windows native tracker list.

What is it?

You can use following IP format for zones:
1.1.1.1
1.1.1.1-2.2.2.2
1.1.1.0/8

Hey mate, there was news that Microsoft is waiving certification fees for developers who submit their software to their app store. Maybe this will help you get your firewall listed in the Microsoft store.

 

[tnodir]

certification fees for developers who submit their software to their app store.

But not for drivers.

 

[badboy]

But not for drivers.

But if you submit your software to their store, won't they allow it to be installed normally from the app store along with the necessary drivers? They will surely check everything before allowing it in their store.

 

[JustInTime]

No, it supports only IP format.
What is it?

GitHub - hagezi/dns-blocklists: DNS-Blocklists: For a better internet - keep the internet clean!

Blocks native broadband tracker from devices, services and operating systems that track your activity.

 

[harlan4096]

Yes!

 

[tnodir]

Fort Firewall 3.19.8

• UI: ProgramEdit: Add "Collect Traffic Statistics" flag (#665).

 

[Parkinsond]

I owe you an apology @tnodir
I should not release statements regarding Fort firewall based on a remote experience, before trying the latest version.
Actually it has markedly improved, with "block, if not allowed" filter mode acting exactly as the prompt by the similar products, and it is the only firewall properly prompting for svchost.exe per service.
Good work

@tnodir,
Any idea when "Ask option" will be implemented in Fort Firewall?

Maybe in several months..

Looking forward to it, thanks.
