Portmaster

The Portmaster enables you to protect your data on your device. You are back in charge of your outgoing connections: you choose what data you share and what data stays private.

Current Status

The Portmaster is currently in alpha. Expect dragons.
Supported platforms:

linux_amd64
windows_amd64 (soon)
darwin_amd64 (later)

Usage

Just download the portmaster from the releases page.

./portmaster -db=/opt/pm_db
# this will add some rules to iptables for traffic interception via nfqueue (and will clean up afterwards!)

# then start the ui
./portmaster -db=/opt/pm_db -ui
# missing files will be automatically download when first needed
