WHAT'S NEW


  • Big changes to Firewall! — We’ve redesigned our Firewall, improved its protection, and made it free for everyone to use. (There’s also a Premium Firewall with more features to actively warn you about malicious intent, leaks, and issues with your network.)
  • Firewall status updates — If you join an untrusted network, you’ll now know that Firewall is taking extra measures to protect you thanks to a new message that appears on your status screen.
  • Stronger Web Shield — You’re now better protected from malicious websites thanks to our scanning improvements.
  • Better Windows 11 compatibility — You’re protected on the newest version of Windows, too.
  • Improved Passive Mode — When you turn on Passive Mode, our tray icon now changes colors to show this. And now even Webcam Shield and Password Protection features will also be disabled.
