[QUOTE="CyberDevil, post: 945049, member: 91290"] I continued experimenting with Portmaster on the VM. Some things are not completely clear to me. For example, if I create blocking rules for incoming and outgoing requests for a domain bing.com, I can still ping it in the console, it seems to me that this is not quite correct, since I expect a complete blocking of access to the host. For example, in Norton, this is how it works, if you block the host, you can't even ping it. [ATTACH type="full" width="617px"]258587[/ATTACH] I also set up a Portmaster connection to my NextDNS account via DOT, and in the web console I saw a lot of requests to hosts related to advertising and telemetry, which should definitely be blocked by the built-in filters. The feeling that the blocking in Portmaster occurs after a DNS request, but the DNS requests themselves are not filtered (?) - this seems a little strange, since i expect filtering at both the DNS and IP levels at the same time from an application that supports DNS encryption and DNS traffic interception.
