I've been using this for about a month and it's been excellent. Actually dropped nextDNS for it, as my main need for nextDNS was one windows desktop.

- cynod 4y agoWas just reading their site and wondering about that myself. But I use NextDNS on my router to cover all the devices on the house and this seems individual client based. Still, I can run it on my main machine. The networking looks a great blend of onion routing and secured connections. Really clever way of constantly changing a client IP. As someone else noted it's like a client/outgoing version of Cloudfare's DDoS mitigated network design.
- Abishek_Muthian 4y agoIs this like OpenSnitch + PiHole combined?
- ignoramous 4y agoPretty much, yes.
- Abishek_Muthian 4y agoI guess having it combined can have portability/mobility benefits but other than that I doubt if the performance benefits of OpenSnitch (or) ability to secure entire network through PiHole is worth replacing.
- ignoramous 4y agoYou won't be wrong about that, but I like to think of PortMaster as more of an open-source Glasswire replacement that can also run on Linux. It is an impressive piece of software nevertheless.
