TinyWall ist eine zweite Verteidigungslinie hinter der in Windows eingebauten Firewall. Die Freeware kontrolliert den ein- und ausgehenden Datenfluss und blockt unautorisierten Datenaustausch.

TinyWall verzichtet bewusst auf Popup-Meldungen an den Anwender. Statt dessen arbeitet die Sicherheitssoftware mit so genannten White-Listen. Bis auf die wichtigsten Windows-Dienste blockt TinyWall zunächst alle Apps die eine Datenverbindung aufbauen wollen. Um eine Freigabe zu erhalten, steuert man die Software via dem Programmmenü in der Taskleiste. Hier editiert man mit wenigen Mausklicks die Verbindungsfreigabe sowie die Whitelist oder deaktiviert die Firewall.

Mit dem kostenlosen TinyWall verbessern sicherheitsbewusste Nutzer ihren Schutz bei Ausflügen ins Netz. Die Freeware sollte jedoch immer nur als sinnvolle Ergänzung zu einer bestehenden Firewall beziehungsweise Antivirensoftware angesehen werden.

GlassWire displays your network activity on an easy to understand graph while searching for unusual Internet behavior that could indicate malware or violations of your privacy. Once unusual network activity is discovered you're instantly alerted with detailed information so you can protect your computer, privacy, and data.

Changelog

    Fixed a bug that caused "ask to connect" to not work in some unusual situations.
    Fixed a bug that could cause Incognito to keep data in the GlassWire user interface temporarily, even after being cleared.
    Modified the "Evil Twin" detection feature so it works in a more useful way. It will now only alert whenever it senses a completely new mac address, but not every time your mac address changes. Some routers use multiple mac addresses in some situations and the alert can be annoying.
    Fixed a bug that caused some host names to be kept in the database when the history was cleared.
    Fixed a bug with RDP connection detection where it would not detect RDP connections in some situations.
    Fixed an issue with Italian translations.
    Fixed an issue that could cause GlassWire's service to crash in some situations.
    Optimized the firewall to avoid an unusual scenario with some games that could cause GlassWire to experience high CPU usage.
    Fixed a UI issue that could cause parts of the GlassWire window to flash with some OS versions.
    Fixed an issue where counting could be wrong in some situations with our usage screen, after updating from a previous version.
    Fixed an issue where some DNS host names could be wrong in some situations.
    Many other small fixes and enhancements. We would like so say thanks to our GlassWire fans that reported these issues and helped test new versions to solve them.

Windows Firewall Control is a powerful tool which extends the functionality of the Windows Firewall and provides quick access to the most frequent options of the Windows Firewall. It runs in the system tray and allows user to control the native firewall easily without having to waste time by navigating to the specific part of the firewall.

This program is donationware.

Changelog

    Improved: Remote addresses content is now expanding to fill the available space in Properties dialog so that more content can be displayed
    Fixed: Properties dialog is not displayed anymore if two or more Windows services have the same Display Name
    Fixed: The service name for svchost.exe notifications is detected only for the Windows services that are already running when WFC service starts. If a Windows service is started after, the notification will not detect the Windows service that triggered the notification
    Fixed: Unhandled exception is logged if certain files are missing from the installation folder
    Fixed: When editing a rule details in the Notification dialog, the rule name can be set as one or several empty spaces
    Fixed: Properties dialog can't apply changes to a rule if the path of the rule is not accessible or not found. This limitation was removed. Also the tooltip was updated since a rule with red text does not always mean the file is not found, it can also mean the file is not accessible (file located in a folder of another user account encrypted location, etc)
    Fixed: In Notification dialog the text (Yes, No, Not valid) under Signed property is not localized
    Removed: The x button from text boxes that is clearing their content
