    Works fine on win 7 HPrem 64bit.
    thanks

    How about a country flag so we get a glance on where the ip address is located?

    Cool, I believe you need the DNS Client service for this, right?

    Cool idea to give an ability to make a blocking rule, but I'm afraid that WFC will block it. And still the ugly focus rectangle. :(

    You are not using Spyshelter FW?

    I had version 1, installed. ...so, I like it. But, I wish I could click on the header colunms, and it would change the order, to show all "Listen" or all "Established" etc, in groupings, too. [ e.g. I can do that with the Windows 10 Task Manager] ;)

    Not the firewall part, only the HIPS. But yes, I can indeed block connections with SS without having to use the outbound firewall.

    Yes the HIPS does all.

    No you're misunderstanding. You can block connections via the network monitor. Problem is that SS doesn't show connections in real-time.

    OK i see, I use the FW version, seems worth the little higher pricing than Premium.
    Less installed apps on my system better I feel ;)

    How big latency of refreshing list of connections stop to be in real-time? I'm asking because I don't see some special difference between SSFW (window "Recently accessed servers list") and e.g. here mentioned tool.

    The point is that SS basically records connection history, but that's not the same as displaying the currently active connections.

    You can observe it in SS actually in one place - "Recently accessed servers list" - and I didn't noticed so big latency to say "it's only history" and not "current connections". BTW...I don't see some spectacular profit in having strict current list of connection (without latency...is it possible in real?):
    first - in SS (and in all similar apps) it will be rather connections made by allowed apps/processes so their "bad" connections are for me the second priority
    second - how fast can we react seeing strange/suspicious connections?...half of second...one...two...or more second till time we block it?

    Would be a beneficial addition IMO

    The point is that SS should have given both options. So a history of all connections, but also real time connections with perhaps a delay function. And of course I'm not looking at network connections all of the time, but sometimes it's handy.
