Hauberk Firewall

While your computer is connected to the Internet or even a LAN network, it is subject to various attackers and threats. By default, Windows comes equipped with its own Firewall solution in an attempt to block suspicious incoming data. However, there are more advanced alternatives such as Hauberk Firewall which give you more control over data that's coming in and going out of your system.

Decide upon each attempt made to connect to your PC

One of the first useful features you stumble upon might seem a little annoying at first, but it helps the application learn your behavior by asking you whether or not to block each and every attempt made to access your computer.
Constantly staying hidden in the system tray, the application monitors incoming and outgoing connections, with the possibility to bring up the main window that's equipped with several adjustable settings.

Monitor network traffic and choose security methods

The overview section provides a constantly updating panel indicating traffic and connections, which mostly comes in handy to network administrators. What's more, you can also modify permission methods, with the possibility to allow or block all connections, trigger the training mode, as well as the option to only allow trusted applications to gather and make use of system data.
Furthermore, you also have access to a list of all processes that go through your network adapter, along with info regarding time, IP, port and full path. You can enable a detailed tree view of each running process, but with no option to end or pause it.

Fully configure permission lists

Regardless of your level of experience, the application's intuitive design lets you fully configure what passes through your computer. Both the blocked and trusted applications lists can be accessed, this time with options to edit, remove, or add custom entries either by specifying the executable file or a valid IP address with its corresponding port.

A few last words

To sum it up, Hauberk Firewall is a suitable alternative for the Windows security solution, being incredibly easy to use and set up by anyone. The intuitive design lets you quickly accommodate, while features you get to work with let you fully customize what applications and addresses are allowed to reach your computer, offering a little extra sense of security.
