WinPatrol Firewall 2017.5.720

If you've been using your computer for a while now, you'll know that there are programs on your computer that connect to the internet that don't notify you about it. Sometimes, these sneaky little programs that connect to the internet without your noticing are malicious and might be a camouflage for malware attacks. It's always good to monitor any and all programs that do this and block what you think is suspicious as well as keep any things from the outside coming in. WinPatrol Firewall is here to help you with that.

The initial installation is easy, but booting it up reveals that not only is there a nag screen, but you'll also need to register your email to fully activate it. This is annoying but unavoidable.

The interface of WinPatrol Firewall is actually very intuitive. It's meant to encourage even those who don't have much computer skills to keep an eye on the connections of their various programs. The dashboard section is where you can get a clear overview of how much data your computer has logged, how many were blocked by this program, and how many fingerprinting domains you've visited.

For those unaware, fingerprinting simply is a way to identify unique traffic. These browsers will extract information about you and your browsing habits. This program also has the capability to only block fingerprinting sites, ensuring that your impact on the internet is minimal at best. All these features make WinPatrol Firewall easy to recommend.
