–What’s New in Firewall Plus 3.0?–
The PC Tools developers made changes where it matters most in a
firewall: under-the-hood. Here’s a list of what’s new in version 3:
* New Smart Application Rules
Firewall Plus now incorporates a set of new smart application rules,
designed to make it simpler and easier for you to continue working with
minimal interference from your Firewall. Technically, using the
Application Rules, you can create a heuristic set of rules that control
how applications are allowed to connect to the Internet/network and
their permissions on your PC. If an application attempts to connect to
the Internet/network and there are no corresponding rules, Firewall Plus
will allow you to choose how the application should behave.
* Stealth Mode protection
Firewall Plus provides you with extra protection via its Stealth Mode
feature which enables your system to appear invisible to other computers
in the network. When in Stealth Mode, your computer is able to make
connections to other computers in the network, but Firewall Plus will
prevent other computers from connecting with yours.
* Data Validation using SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection)
Firewall Plus validates data using SPI – stateful packet inspection – in
which it performs a protocol handshake and if successful allows data
transfer, otherwise all traffic is blocked - ensuring no unauthorized
data is transferred onto your computer.
* Application protection
Firewall Plus offers additional application protection by guarding all
the applications on your PC from unauthorized access. Enabling this
option will shield applications on your system from other applications
attempting to take control of them and potentially use them for
malicious purposes.
