Damn, looks like a nice free competitor to Glasswire which I'm currently using (which also has an extremely usable free option).
Like Glasswire though I'm guessing this doesn't alert on common traffic like DNS lookups via the host, which would still allow malicious software to get traffic in and out unseen.
CTO of Safing here.
The Portmaster actually handles DNS itself and will show you DNS queries in the UI. (Currently, only showing DNS queries that were _not_ served from cache.)
Also, Portmaster actually has it's own kernel module in Windows and sees more than Glasswire.
Portmaster sends queries over DNS-over-TLS to protect them and has (very) basic protection against data tunnels.
Oh nice, that's more in-depth than what I'd expected. Great work.
