Ran into few issues and even got to break it stuff around to test how much I can break it and then how to fix it in case that happens.īut one of the issues I encountered was a crash when a new program was getting blocked and then the tray icon displays the attention exclamation mark on it. Testing the preview build works mostly great! I know it is not the end of the world and it doesn't make the firewall impossible to use, I know some people would suggest 'keep using simplewall or Tinywall (and wait for Tinywall to do IP filtering)', but I like what I see in your firewall and would like it to improve it. I mean, having to run fort firewall in order to work makes sense when portable mode, but not when I want to use it as the main firewall replacing the Windows native one. I mean, I know since Fort Firewall doesn't write 'persistent' BFE rules in the registry like other firewalls so it is intended to work work differently but I just don't think having to run the firewall at all times in the tray is the best experience, especially when Start with Windows is not even on by default and the only work around would be to use the Stop traffic when fort firewall is not running so a connection we don't want allowed doesn't get allowed, also closing a program is so easily done by a crash or by stuff like Taskkill and not even admin rights so anyone could easily get rid of Fort Firewall and that would be a security risk.

Not the end of the world but It would be nice if Fort Firewall could keep running in the background at all times and do the filtering even when app is closed, just like how other firewalls do it. I thought that by installing the driver, it would keep running in the background, which it seems to be able to do when using 'stop traffic when Fort Firewall is not running', but then I had to opened it for it to work and then when closing it it just starts allowing all the connections again. I finally decided to try your Firewall recently after watching it grow in wilderssecurity for months and I think it is great, but there is one thing I don't understand about the firewall and it is: how Fort Firewall has to be opened all the time for it to work and do the the filtering and apply the rules we set.
