Portmaster Firewall (Alpha stage)

[davegson]

Well these two months passed quickly. We were mostly occupied getting the SPN out of the door. Anyway, wish all of you have a great new year and hope many of you could get some relaxing days!

@SFox, since the last post we have released a few Portmaster versions, could you check again and maybe check in on this GitHub issue?

Hello. With the past holidays of the New Year and Christmas! I just checked the problem again and after rebooting the system, starting and closing the user interface, the zombies of the processes were not detected.

After installing, portmaster i was very surprised of its components and futures. After using it for about 5 hours the net on my PC stops and i get incapability error. I hope that this type of errors will be fixed soon. Congrats for the work!

Thanks - so glad you like it!

When things like this happen it greatly helps to receive in-app bug reports where you can describe what the issue is, in your case probably a false positive with the compatibility assistant.

I really liked the change in the interface in the last update. The section that allows you to view all the programs that went online is also a good solution.

Wow, I missed this project!

I'll try it on a virtual machine as soon as I have a moment

Can you take a screenshot? Interesting. I don't have Portmaster installed right now.

At the moment I can’t, because the portmaster is not installed on my notebook, but on my parents’ notebook.

Voodooshield still don't like the signature.

I just tried it... either it doesn't like my virtual machine, or it doesn't support Windows 11...

I installed it, set it to "Ask" and it crashed after 5min... I couldn't test it....

Hello,
Does Portmaster use Windows Filtering Platform?
Is there advanced protocol / port filtering?
