   You already can disable automatic updating, but this also affects intelligence data. We are working on better support for this use case.

   Electron only wraps the UI. All important logic is in other components. You can access the UI via the web browser at 127.0.0.1:817 if you have the Development Mode enabled. You can also use API Keys, but we’re still working on improving the

   We mainly use http/websockets, but have also started using a feature that will give us the application icon of an executable on Windows. We've previously used the webview lib [0] and we will look into it again, as they now support

   Hi, CTO of Safing here. Unfortunately that would not make sense, as the Portmaster needs to access many OS interfaces in order to integrate correctly. Dockers job is pretty much to remove access to these. However, the systemd service actual

   Correct. We were already investigating how to do it when Apple announced that they will ditch their kernel extensions. We then put it on hold to wait for the changes. Been on hold since, because of resource focus to get it out already. ;)

   Hi, CTO of Safing here. Can you explain what you expected? Maybe you can find a good exmaple. We really want to improve on this.

   CTO of Safing here. We have SNI inspection in progress (currently on hold), but not yet live. Currently, we just match the IP address to all resolved IPs of all domains and pick the most recent one. (The Portmaster handles DNS via DNS-over-

   CTO of Safing here. Yes, this is rather unfortunate. There are also some more "portmaster" things around, which were partly mentioned in an older HN thread. We thought about a rebrand, but it's just way to expensive right now

    CTO of Safing here. We are trying to improve on this. Would be great if you could create a Github issue so we can have a look. You can also easily do this from within the UI.

    CTO of Safing here. The Portmaster actually handles DNS itself and will show you DNS queries in the UI. (Currently, only showing DNS queries that were _not_ served from cache.) Also, Portmaster actually has it's own kernel module in Wi

    CTO of Safing here. I understand you dislike this. With the current auto-updating system we have in place this was the easiest solution, as the installer just installs one core component which fetches all others in the newest release. With

    CTO of Safing here. Yes, we dislike Electron and tried another route before switching to it. We have our hopes up for the new Microsoft Edge WebView2, which I hope to evaluate soon: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us&#x2F

    Yes, it does. Here is the setting in the reference: https://docs.safing.io/portmaster/settings#filter/defaultAct... However, I must add that the prompting system is rather MVP and we are looking for ways to improv

    We‘re way down this road, albeit with a different set of services, which you can find at safing.io The biggest challenge we continue to face is how to make the value of privacy visible, as the privacy protection itself cannot be really seen

    Nice stuff! Is this interoperable with other decentralized networks?

    Ok. Thanks. That’s how we use it too. I guess the question thing got me confused.

    I only know the issue templates with the chooser. Can you point me to the feature you referred to with „GH now let's projects even ask some questions before opening an issue“?

    Can you explain in one sentence what exactly you analyze? Who is the target group and why would they create an account (and pay?) for seeing reports? Clicking through the reports gives a weird feeling. Zoom has “high“ privacy, but is (argua

    Thought about that too. Maybe because they use a different set of IPs for the proxies and expect them to stay cleaner.

    The user (supposedly) read the (smart) contract and agreed to it as it is. So how is that resolved then?

    Selected my country in the drop down at the bottom: “404 Page not found”. Lol. Otherwise, would love to see a good and privacy respecting alternative to Amazon take off.

    So, if I run this on a server and fill my cache, can I then monitor other people browsing arc.io-enabled websites? I feel the privacy implications of such a technology haven’t been evaluated.
