Portmaster

Portmaster is here to help you take control of your internet connection! With all the cool tech advancements, there are some not-so-cool things happening behind the scenes in the software world. A lot of apps today want to collect your data, and sometimes they do it without you even knowing. Sounds a bit sneaky, right?

Why Do Apps Need Internet Access?

These days, many apps need internet access to give you a better experience. But here’s the catch: operating systems like Windows come with features that you can’t easily turn off. That’s where Portmaster steps in! This open-source network traffic management software helps you limit internet access for apps that don’t need it on your system.

User-Friendly Interface

When you launch Portmaster, you'll see a sidebar with a three-pane layout that makes everything super easy to understand. The main window shows an overview of what's happening with your Network Monitor. You’ll get a list of all the apps currently connected to the internet!

Track App Connections

If you're curious about what any app is up to online, just click on it! You’ll see a connection history for up to 10 minutes, showing which domains the app connected to and what parts of it are talking outside your local network.

Customize Your Settings

You can also head over to another section where you can change settings for each app. Want to block it from accessing the internet? No problem! You can set precise rules for incoming and outgoing connections.

Your Privacy Matters

With Portmaster, not only do you decide which apps get bandwidth, but you also gain access to secure DNS servers and a privacy filter. This alerts anyone using the computer whenever an app connects online so they can act quickly.

Personalize Your Experience

The app lets you switch between three different interface styles: simple, advanced, and developer UI. Choose what works best for you!

Perfect for Privacy Lovers

If you're into Microsoft’s operating system but don’t care for extra features like their store—and want more privacy—Portmaster could be just what you need. Its network monitoring and configuration tools help put control back in your hands!
