Fort Firewall is an open source software for Windows that allows users to monitor, control and restrict network access for suspicious applications and services.
Traffic
The program makes it possible to create and manage rules according to specific utilities, giving precise control over which ones may access the internet. Users can allow or block connections based on the executable file path. Such caution helps prevent unauthorized services from transmitting data or updating in the background.
Moreover, you are able to set rules for both inbound and outbound network traffic. There is an option to define connection behavior by IP address, port number or protocol type. The firewall also supports time-based restrictions, allowing certain activities only during specific hours.
Sets
Similar to Kaspersky Plus, here you can manage multiple profiles. It is also possible to switch between predefined sets of rules depending on your current usage scenario. The app simplifies adjusting security levels without manually editing individual restrictions. On top of that, you are able to create both blacklists and whitelists, which help you to permit or deny traffic to specific domains or IPs.

- there is a live connection monitor that displays current network activity;
- users can apply rules to specific executable paths only;
