Has this software stopped being updated? The interface I looked at many years ago is still the same. It would be nice if, when a program/application wants to access the internet, it would ask the user for information such as the location of the program on the disk, the IP number it wants to connect to, the domain name, whether it has a digital signature, the name of the manufacturer, etc. I am currently using the free version and the notification settings seem insufficient to me. Isn't it possible to improve these? By the way, I would like to thank all the developers who contributed to this wonderful software. I hope this software will be developed more. It is a wonderful thing, I enjoy using it. I am thinking of buying it after trying it for a while. I would like to thank everyone who contributed again, for saving us from the exploitation of Windows.

I find myself rapidly switching inbetween port and sniffnet, and here's why. Sniff cant show the website url hiding behind it's cloudflare ip like port does, but sniff does let u sort IPs by total data transfered, a basic ui feature which port seem to lock behind a paywall. and maybe this is just placebo, but I almost feel like sniff is more immediate and 'realtime' in showing new IPs, while port requires u to press the refresh button rightafter u visit a new webpage before it showsup

Tienen una app para android?

Please help none of my connections are loading

It did not keep me from enjoying the stream - nothing much can, but there was a noticeable underlying noise with the audio this time around. Pink/Brown noise mostly with some modulation.

bonjour, peut ont installer sur MX Linux ? xfce j'ai essayer mais a la fin probleme que je n'arrive pas a resoudre_ j'ai fait comme cela kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5muq5mwmKeXaas pouvez vous me dire comment ? merci bien_

Thanks, though when I turn off global incoming block, remote desktop still doesn't work. IWhen I turn off portmaster, RD works. Could you help with what to try next?

after i installportmaster i dont have internet say Portmaster did not detect any network connectivity.

Can we play with the Beta in an Alpha (Cosmic) environment?

Hello. Hoping you could answer a quick question (well maybe 2, LOL!). 1) We use a DDNS service with a hostname/domain name. So when connecting remotely we use the assigned domain name. Is it possible to create a rule that allows connections only when connecting using that domain? I've tried nearly every possible combination that you list out in your incoming rules section, but no luck. 2) Also, is there a way to delete just one rule in a grouping--it seems that if two or three rules are grouped together, all have to be removed? Thanks in advance!

Greetings ! Is there any way to install portmaster on coreelec ?

this very interesting program, it would be good if you had the option to put it in spanish or in another language.

Hagan el programa en español por favor

Since the SPN obviously adds latency i can still watch 4k HDR content from Netflix. Using CTRL ALT SHIFT D confirms this as it shows every aspect of what you`re getting from Netflix at any given time. If im downloading a large game patch, i toggle off SPN and with a GIG connection up and down the patch downloads very fast, once done i turn SPN back on. Portmaster isn't perfect, one example is the refresh rate of the network activity NEEDS to be configurable or at least increased drastically. But from what i understand Portmaster is still in its infancy and i respect what they have accomplished so far with the SPN. Im excited to watch this product grow and ive subscribed to pro for a year to help support the development. Thank you Portmaster/SPN team!

appreciate the rambling, but also appreciate brevity. personally i like the more unfiltered raw videos that are as long as need be, but not longer ;)

anybody who has never built their own account or payment service will never understand…given limited resources, i’m impressed that your redisgn will still be self hosted tbh. personally i think features like mobile support would be a higher priority.

i know these videos dont have a lot of views, but as someone looking into portmaster and opensnitch they’re very useful so thank you 😀

always appreciate leaving in surprises or “mistakes” in videos like this 😀👍you mention replacing electron discussion… be nice if you linked to it as well

Acoustic panels?

Tem como instalar no Android ?

A tiny bit off topic, but, those thumbnails you guys use. AMAZING.

I just downloaded and installed your app; however, it is indicating that the Device is Offline. I don't see where there is a setting to turn this on or off. Please advise.

is there a way to set Force Block Incoming Connections to Force Prompt Incoming Connections or is this a feature that can be added in the future? Everything else looks good as far as what I am looking for in this product

Great vibes! Looking forward to learn more about this protocol.

The question about paying for Plus monthly could be a result of the checkout page not being clear. The page indicates you can select a number of months to pay for with the default being 1 month and the Purchase button looks clickable even thought clicking it has no effect. Not until you click the discount area, which seems optional, does the text change to how many years.

The import/export mentioned here as a soon-to-be-released feature has come in handy for app profiles that have a lot of rules. I'd copy the export to the clipboard and use a remote desktop tool to paste into the import window.

I agree that PortMaster free provides a lot of value. Having played with it now, I also agree that the network history is a feature worth paying for and it's a good place to draw the line for the first paid tier to support future development.

It's fun hearing about the major features you planned to add and knowing that you did :-) And you were right that the history module is a big deal.

The learning mode you two described sounds very helpful, but as you said the backlog is long :-)

Portmaster is a must have program for me. Thanks for the work. I do have a question though and it's probably a dumb one, but when I boot and look at Portmaster, Microsoft Edge has like 30 something connections. I never use edge, don't even open it or have a shortcut so I block it. I'm guessing that's telemetry? or something? Is this a bad idea? or are Microsoft being creepy af?

Thanks for the awesome app guys!

Privacy is important, but I think many of those people looking into PortMaster are entering the "journey" from a stronger interest in security. That's why there are often comparisons with tools like simplewall and glasswire i.e. firewalls. Your customers might be telling you their interest by their choice of Plus vs Pro. Subscribers with Plus may actually represent the security-centric folks. The Plus subscribers may not just be people that want to support you or just people not able to afford Pro.

does portmaster support DNSSEC also? when I use dig to check the DNS response it doesn't have the DNSSEC response additional fields?

This was a great discussion and I like the Q&A format with one of you asking and the other answering. There might not be a huge audience for deep-dives like this, but I certainly appreciate them. I've only recently learned about DNS over TLS and I was glad to see that it's a feature of PortMaster since it's not natively supported by Windows 10.

I learned about a feature from this old stream. I had no idea I could combine apps to work as a single entity. Awesome!

You are doing a great job guys! 😁

At 2:45 you mentioned that without a VPN the IP and DNS/websiteURL is not encrypted. True, but the actual data is via HTTPS/TLS. I prefer a direct faster and lower latency connection using a "burner phone" with no name or any info on file and change it once a month. ;)

Maybe the idea was already outspoken, but can you add a funktion to allow a Domain/Connection etc. temporarly. Like the NOSCRIPT addon for Firefox for example. Sometimes i want to visit a webside only once and have to allow the domain. It would be cool if the rule exaption would turn back after about 10 - 15 minutes or untill Poortmaster gets restarted. Thank you for this good tool.

Great breakdown. Question how much latency does spn add to connection?

I hope this video is a start into better visualizing what we do differently. There is more to how VPNs can get attacked with pattern matching and so on... where the local isp your pc is connected to can actually know more, and I initially wanted to get into that as well, but, that would have been a much longer video. Also SPN does protect more then what is shown in the video, but again, that would have been a much longer video. So I hope this is a great stepping stone into other explanations, so please let me know what you would want to know more about. Here is ok and on YT.

My VPN can't connect to internet when using Portmaster, it says DNS error ... Do I have to add my VPN domain as an exception into the Portmaster DNS setting somewhere, if so, how and what exactly do I have to do? thx

Try Nobara Linux maybe for some Fedora~Nvidia gaming

Question: Is it possible to manualy target and ad.. like the zapper in Ublock Origin?

This program looks good but in practice it is useless. I need to have a clear message that a program wants to connect to the internet. In this window there should be an option to remember setting permanently for the whole program, otherwise I get 1000 requests for every firefox connection to the Internet. To grant it total access I have to open options and only set allow there. Pointless. No one will want to do such a job, even though the program is beautiful and has a lot of options. Even the biggest computer whizzes will eventually get discouraged when they are forced to set settings for the program every time a new program requests Internet access.

How to enable local (Lan) connections? Allow button is disabled there..

Distorted and blurred text in UI on nvidia GPU systems. It's a shame that this issue has not been fixed yet. Not sure about AMD gpus.

Well I tried Portmaster and is really useful, sadly it seems it lacks some more control over the "Force Block Incoming Connections" bypass, I have AgentDVR running withc uses WebRTC and Portmaster simply blocks access to it and I have no way to enable it. There should be a simple Override to the "Force Block Incoming Connections", for example, simply allow all incoming connections to a specific port or port range. If there is this option I can't find it.

Awesome people. Awesome program. Now let's do our part guys. Donate if you can but at least, raise awareness about this masterpiece of a firewall. The more people learn about this tool, the stronger it will become.

Amazing!

Dear Raphael & the fantastic Safing development team, Thank you for this amazing product. I finally found the precise control I needed for all my apps. I was stuck with Comodo Firewall for 8 years, but now I have found the best alternative in every way. I am thrilled with the level of control available (especially when it comes to controlling outgoing connections). I will soon subscribe to the Plus plan. Please continue the excellent work. Thank you again.
