Fort Firewall

hi
very nice firewall
but is so hard to add a pop up when let me know which program try to start an outbound/outgoing connection?
thanks

 

It's in TODO. Thanks.

 

hi
can't wait
cheers

 

Fort Firewall v3.6.8

• UI: Programs: Optimize app info loading.
• UI: Programs: Swap "State" & "File Path" columns.

 

Fort Firewall v3.6.9

• UI: Options: Fix saving regression.

 

Fort Firewall v3.7.0

• UI: Programs: Load app icons in separate thread.

 

Well, at least do you implemented a way FFirewall gui could show an alert if its service is killed or something ?

 

1. When service/driver is not available:
- the system tray icon will be grayed out;
- Options: Driver will show an error message.

2. You can turn on the Options: "Stop traffic when Fort Firewall is not running" flag to block Internet on service kill.

 

Fort Firewall v3.7.1

• UI: Options: IP Addresses: Add "Show Zones" button.
• UI: Try to reconnect to killed service by timer.
• Driver: Refactor for IRQ level to avoid Driver Verifier errors.
• Installer: Use "C:\Program Files" by default on 64-bit OS.

 

Fort Firewall v3.7.3

• UI: Don't reset password on Quota alert.
• UI: Options: Statistics: Fix Quota changes applying.
• UI: Service: Add ability to pause/continue client connections.
• Driver: Use event to wait processes enumeration.
• Driver: Abort bad flows on unload.

 

Hi @tnodir

do you think could be allowed a program to connect only to a range if ips (without excluding all the others ip ) ?
thanks

 

In TODO.

 

Fort Firewall v3.7.4

• UI: Programs: Add ability to not collect blocked connections.
• UI: Blocked Connections: Process storing in separate thread.
• UI: Update SQLite to v3.41.0

 

Fort Firewall v3.7.5

• Fix the distribution: A test signed driver was included in v3.7.4

 

Fort Firewall v3.7.6

• UI: Blocked Connections: Fix list updating.
• UI: Don't check password on Quit.

 

Let me show why it doesn't have sense to protect against admin.

You can uninstall TinyWall without entering the password:

• Set password, click on "Lock" menu item
• Close TinyWall's UI part/controller, so only service is running
• Run Installer and choose a Remove option
• Wait for the "Did you initiate ...?" dialog
• Kill the service and immediately click on "Yes" button of "Did you initiate ...?" dialog
• TinyWall is uninstalled

Other method to uninstall without entering the password:

• Set password, click on "Lock" menu item
• Close TinyWall's UI part/controller, so only service is running
• Suspend TinyWall's service process in System Informer
• Close "C:\ProgramData\TinyWall\*" files of TinyWall's service process in System Informer
• Remove "C:\ProgramData\TinyWall\*" files
• Kill the TinyWall's service process (it'll auto-restart)
• Run Installer and remove it
• TinyWall is uninstalled

 

Well, that's interesting for general information. I am talking about killing a process directly from task manager though. I guess a glitch of any software or malware killing process may achieve that.

Ok, let me see what I can do...

Some info: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20170123-00/?p=95235

 

OK it seems you are in the right path...

Spoiler: services

 

Also compare Recovery tab

 

Done, ok. And?

Spoiler: Recovery tab

 

I'm not sure that service's Start & Pause buttons should be disabled by default...

 

I am not only not sure, I don't know for sure. That's above my paygrade

 

Fort Firewall v3.7.7

• UI: Auto-restart service on termination.
• UI: Options: Add "Disable Service controls" flag.
• UI: Options: Add "Check password on Uninstall" flag.

 

Though I've added the "Disable Service controls" flag, but I'm going to remove it.
So Stop/Pause control buttons will be always enabled for service.
