Description
PortsLock
PortsLock is a firewall designed with user-level access controls for Windows NT, 2000, and XP. Once you install PortsLock, it's super easy for administrators to set permissions for TCP/IP connections. Think of it like managing access on your hard drive's NTFS partition. You can specify which users get to use what TCP/IP-based protocols like HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP3, and Telnet. Plus, you can control access based on the time of day or the day of the week! How cool is that?
Control Your Connections
With PortsLock, you can also decide which TCP/UDP ports and IP addresses are allowed or denied for incoming and outgoing connections. It’s a handy security tool that helps keep your network safe by blocking unwanted ports and more.
Why Security Matters
Did you know that around 80% of security breaches happen from within? That’s why having something like PortsLock is essential! It boosts the options for system admins to create a safer network environment and shields corporate networks from internal attacks.
User-Friendly Setup
The best part? PortsLock works transparently for users. They don’t need to set any rules in their applications to connect to the network. Only admins have that power, so users without admin rights can't sidestep the security measures in place. And don't worry—PortsLock plays nice with other personal firewalls and routers installed on the same machine.
Limitations:
- Nag screen
- 30-day trial period
