   "Portmaster is a free and open-source privacy suite that puts you back in   
   charge of your computer.   
      
   Features:   
      
   Monitor All Network Activity   
   Discover everything that is happening on your computer. Expose every   
   connection your applications make and detect evil ones. Finally get the power   
   to act accordingly.   
      
   Block Unwanted Connections   
   Many programs connect to the Internet without your knowledge. When you find   
   unwanted connections, you can now simply block them.   
      
   Auto-Block via Selected Filter Lists   
   Automatically block ads, trackers and malware hosts via trusted domain-lists,   
   which are also used by Ad-Blockers, etc. Easily change the defaults to fit   
   your needs.   
      
   Enforce DNS-over-TLS   
   Even with invasive connections gone, you might not want to share your dns   
   requests out in the open. With the Portmaster, you can easily re-route all   
   your dns queries to a DNS-over-TLS provider of your choice.   
      
   Set Global & per-App Settings   
   Make your own rules. Completely cut off applications from the Internet. Or   
   block all p2p connections except for certain apps. Or never connect to   
   specific countries. The Portmaster has you covered."
