Personal Firewall can block malicious attacks and protect your PC from outside threats.

When you're connected to the Internet, you're sending and receiving information in small units called packets. A packet contains the addresses of the sender and the recipient along with a piece of data, a request, a command, or almost anything having to do with your connection to the Internet. But just as with postal mail, not every package that arrives at your computer is one you want to open.

Protoport Personal Firewall examines each data packet sent to or from your computer to see if it meets a set of criteria. The firewall then selectively passes or blocks the packet.

Protoport Personal Firewall unique features:

  • The firewall is installed at the lowest possible level as NDIS IM and TDI drivers.
  • Protoport Personal Firewall is small and fast.
  • Native support of all popular protocols: ARP, IP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, IGMP, IPX, OSPF. Other protocols are supported via their numbers.
  • Anti-hacker protection.
  • Black list feature.
  • NAT server. User may connect up to three home networks to the internet via single computer.
  • Application control. Protoport Personal Firewall will alert user if application that is connected to the internet was changed replaced. This means strong anti-trojan protection.
  • User can specify rules for any protocol, local IP, remote IP address, MAC address, application etc.
  • Protoport Personal Firewall is extendable.
