GlowWorm FW Lite Rules-based Security - Shareware Beat

2419 GlowWorm FW Lite - can help you protect your privacy by enabling you to control your computer at the network level.

Through a simple system of Rules (see screenshot on the right) you can easily define the behavior that is acceptable on the basis of a particular application, host or ip address, port number, and any combination thereof, and what action to take if such an event occurs. A default set of rules is included to get you started.

GlowWorm FW Lite is a completely free download. A more sophisticated (non-free) version is planned, and feedback received regarding this free version will help guide development. Mac OS X 10.4 is required to use GlowWorm FW Lite.

Rules Table - allows you to specify a set of rules for automatically enforcing certain restrictions. Criteria include a dns name, ip address (and optional netmask), port number (or range), application name, and what to do.

Alert Message - will notify you when a particular event occurs, or by default for all non-supported events, and this behavior is completely customizable via Rules.

The first public release is now available.

An issue has been fixed which prevented GlowWorm FW Lite from working on Intel Macs. Please use the new release, v1.0.8.
