[QUOTE="davegson, post: 963726, member: 92101"] Hey [USER=80312]@SFox[/USER], thank you so much for those thoughtful ideas! First off, a feature to have Portmaster remember and auto-switch the network rating was planned from the get-go. But that feature had to be cut out due to other things being more important for the moment. You can find the "Auto Pilot" easter-egg when you switch to the "Developer UI Mode" 😉 And sadly for you, it will probably take a while until our priority shifts to this. Especially with our most recent work where we will simplify the settings for normal users altogether in order to remove a big part of the learning curve. Meaning the default will be normal On/Off switches, and advanced users will have to enable Network Ratings / Threat Modeling. You can read up on that via the link in my next post. However, what I really liked about your suggestion was the colored indicator showing in which Network Rating you are at the moment. You can click on the notifier to see this, but I agree, why click once when it would be possible not to click at all? :) I did take a note so when we do rework the different Network Ratings / Threat Model Profiles, your input will be part of the discussions too. In my raw, brainstormy thoughts I would love Portmaster users to be able to create a custom amount of Profiles/Ratings, and customizing each name and even attaching a color and an icon to it which then is displayed throughout different elements. As mentioned super raw, but thanks for your ideas - already influenced my thoughts on the topic! cheerio [/QUOTE]
