SunFirewall

SunFirewall is like an extra shield for anyone connecting remotely to their systems. It helps keep hackers and other bad guys out, so your data stays safe.

Protecting Your Connection

This tool uses a blacklist feature that lets you create a barrier between your computer's port and any country you want. The default port (3389) can leave your system open if someone gets hold of your login info. You can change this port, but blacklisting countries you think might launch attacks is also a smart move!

Blocking Unwanted Access

If you really want to cut down on threats, you can block all countries except the one your client connects from. This way, only trusted users get access!

Defending Against Brute Force Attacks

Brute Force is a sneaky hacking method where attackers try every possible password until they find the right one. SunFirewall automatically catches IPs that attempt multiple logins with wrong passwords. You can see these IPs listed in a preview panel along with details like location, country, and time zone.

Limiting Login Attempts

The app suggests limiting login attempts to three tries to avoid mistakes. But hey, if you want to allow more attempts, you can! If an IP gets blocked by accident, no worries—you can easily clear it from the list.

Keeping an Eye on Connections

A user gets flagged as “suspected” if their connection location changes quickly. For instance, if someone logs in from the USA and then suddenly connects from China, the system will mark them as suspicious.

A Handy Tool for Remote Users

SunFirewall is a cool tool for securing your remote connections. Its key features include blocking access from certain countries and automatically denying access for IPs that can't log in correctly. It's perfect for folks using RDP daily who want to keep unwanted visitors away from their info.
