12 months ago

Features:

  • Implemented Auto-Allow Feature: A new feature was added to automatically allow digitally signed applications based on one of three settings:
    • Disabled
    • Allow if trusted by Windows
    • Allow if the publisher is on a user-managed whitelist

Bug fixes:

  • Implemented a debouncing mechanism to prevent multiple, rapid-fire pop-ups for the same application making numerous connection attempts.

UI:

  • Added "Allow Temporary" to popups and dashboard.
  • Added "Create Wildcard Rule" to popups and dashboard for user efficiency.
  • Added icons to rules and live connections. It is optional and can be shut off in the settings tab (like the live connections) to lower memory usage.
  • The "Allow" and "Block" buttons on the notification pop-up now use distinct green and red background colors for clearer and quicker identification.

A "Trust Publisher" checkbox now appears on the notification pop-up for signed applications, allowing you to easily add publishers to your whitelist. A corresponding "Allow and Trust Publisher" option was added to the dashboard context menu. A "Manage Trusted Publishers" button and form were added to the Settings tab for viewing and removing trusted publishers.

To Download

Just extract and the click on the .exe. You will want to place it in a folder

The smaller file is set to work on Windows 8 and later. It should work if you just want the smallest possible size (but remember, smaller doesn't mean a program uses less resources or is faster). The New framework is what I recommend using.

You may be prompted to download NET 8 from Microsoft if you are using an older system.
