Portmaster

The privacy app that gives you back control over all your computer's network connections.

Privacy Features

At its core, the Portmaster sits on your kernel and simply intercepts all your network connections. You decide which privacy features you want to enable or disable as you desire.

All-Around System Privacy

Since the Portmaster sits on your kernel, you can finally protect your whole computer, not just your browser. Do you want to block Ads and Analytics for your whole operating system? Or certain ports? The Portmaster has you covered.

Your kernel is a cricital part of your computer, so be encouraged to validate our claims.

Global & per‑App Configuration

Cut off apps from the Internet entirely, block system processes or limit applications to only access certain domains.

With the Portmaster, your power becomes limitless.

Enforce DNS‑over‑TLS

Even with malicious 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.

Modular Design From The Start

One shoe does not fit all. That is why you can enable or disable privacy features at your will. And the best thing? Everything is FOSS, free and open-source software.

You can use most features free of charge as well, only the coolest one, the SPN, requires a subscription to unlock.
