simplewall
Simple tool to configure Windows Filtering Platform (WFP)
simplewall is an open-source Windows application that provides a user-friendly firewall control interface powered by Windows Filtering Platform (WFP), enabling users to block or allow outgoing and incoming network connections without diving into complex OS settings or command-line tools. The app presents a clean, intuitive UI where users can define rules based on process names, IP addresses, ports, and protocols, making it possible to restrict apps from accessing the internet or control specific traffic flows with fine granularity. Because simplewall leverages WFP directly, it operates at a low level in the network stack, ensuring reliable enforcement of rules system-wide while remaining lightweight. It also includes optional modes like blocking all inbound or outbound traffic except what’s explicitly allowed, and supports temporary rule application, logging, and diagnostic views to help users understand what traffic is being blocked or permitted. -

VirtualBox
Virtualization software for x86_64 hardware
VirtualBox is a powerful open-source full virtualization software that allows a user to run one or more “guest” operating systems simultaneously inside “virtual machines” on a single physical “host” machine. It supports a wide variety of host platforms (Linux, Windows, macOS, Solaris, etc.) and guest OSes, enabling, for example, running Linux on a Windows PC, running Windows Server on a Linux host, or even legacy OSes in a controlled environment. This flexibility makes VirtualBox ideal for developers, testers, sysadmins, or hobbyists who need different OS environments, want to test software across systems, or need isolation for development, sandboxing, or security experiments. VirtualBox offers both a user-friendly GUI as well as a command-line interface and headless mode, making it useful for desktop usage as well as server or automated environments. -

RuView
Turn WiFi signals into real-time human sensing and spatial awareness.
RuView is an edge AI perception system that transforms ordinary WiFi signals into real-time environmental sensing and human pose estimation. Built on the concept of WiFi DensePose, it analyzes disturbances in WiFi Channel State Information (CSI) caused by human movement to reconstruct body position, breathing patterns, heart rate, and presence. Unlike traditional vision systems, RuView operates without cameras, wearables, or cloud connectivity, making it a privacy-first sensing solution. The system runs on low-cost hardware such as ESP32 sensor meshes and performs signal processing and machine learning directly at the edge. By learning the RF signature of each environment over time, RuView adapts automatically to different spaces and improves its sensing accuracy. Designed for applications ranging from healthcare monitoring to disaster response, it enables spaces to gain spatial awareness using the radio signals already present in the environment. -

Aether
Aether is a censorship circumvention client
Aether is a censorship-circumvention client designed for networks where filtering, deep packet inspection, protocol fingerprinting, throttling, and endpoint blocking are common. It automatically searches for reachable gateways and validates that a route can actually pass data before trusting it. The client can establish encrypted connectivity through MASQUE over HTTP/3 or HTTP/2 and also supports WireGuard-based modes. Traffic obfuscation and optional TLS ClientHello fragmentation are available for environments that inspect connection patterns. Automatic reconnection can reuse the last known working gateway instead of repeating a full scan. Applications connect through a local SOCKS5 proxy exposed by Aether. Prebuilt releases target Linux, Windows, macOS, and Android through Termux, while the source is primarily built with Rust. -

HypoMux
Windows multi-NIC bandwidth aggregator
HypoMux is a Windows multi-network bandwidth aggregation tool for high-concurrency downloads. It is designed for PCs connected to multiple independent networks, such as Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and mobile hotspot connections. The app distributes different download connections across available network interfaces so multi-threaded downloads can use more combined throughput. Version 2 adds a virtual network adapter mode alongside the original system proxy mode for broader traffic handling. It also includes process-level routing rules so latency-sensitive apps can bypass aggregation while download-heavy apps use it. HypoMux is best suited for large Steam updates, download managers, browser downloads, and similar multi-connection workloads, not single-stream transfers. -

UFTP
Encrypted UDP based FTP with multicast
UFTP is an encrypted multicast file transfer program, designed to securely, reliably, and efficiently transfer files to multiple receivers simultaneously. This is useful for distributing large files to a large number of receivers, and is especially useful for data distribution over a satellite link (with two way communication), where the inherent delay makes any TCP based communication highly inefficient. The multicast encryption scheme is based on TLS with extensions to allow multiple receivers to share a common key. UFTP also has the capability to communicate over disjoint networks separated by one or more firewalls (NAT traversal) and without full end-to-end multicast capability (multicast tunneling) through the use of a UFTP proxy server. These proxies also provide scalability by aggregating responses from a group of receivers. -

NetBird
Connect your devices into a secure WireGuard-based overlay network
NetBird is an open-source solution that builds a WireGuard®-based overlay network enabling seamless, encrypted peer-to-peer connectivity without the complexity of firewall rules, port forwarding, or centralized VPN gateways. It integrates access control features such as SSO and MFA for secure, policy-driven networking. Every machine in the network runs NetBird Agent (or Client) that manages WireGuard. Every agent connects to Management Service that holds network state, manages peer IPs, and distributes network updates to agents (peers). NetBird agent uses WebRTC ICE implemented in pion/ice library to discover connection candidates when establishing a peer-to-peer connection between machines. -

Endian Firewall Community (EFW) is a "turn-key" linux security distribution that makes your system a full featured security appliance with Unified Threat Management (UTM) functionalities. The software has been designed for the best usability: very easy to install, use and manage and still greatly flexible. The feature suite includes stateful packet inspection firewall, application-level proxies for various protocols (HTTP, FTP, POP3, SMTP) with antivirus support, virus and spam-filtering for email traffic (POP and SMTP), content filtering of Web traffic and a "hassle free" VPN solution (based on both OpenVPN and IPsec).

Acrylic DNS Proxy
A local DNS proxy which improves the performance of your computer
Acrylic is a local DNS proxy for Windows which improves the performance of your computer by caching the responses coming from your DNS servers and helps you fight unwanted ads through the use of a custom HOSTS file (optimized for handling hundreds of thousands of domain names) with support for wildcards and regular expressions. When you browse a web page a portion of the loading time is dedicated to name resolution while the rest is dedicated to the transfer of the web page contents. What Acrylic does is to reduce the time dedicated to name resolution for frequently visited addresses closest to zero possible. Furthermore Acrylic's sliding expiration caching mechanism and DNS silent updates are able to improve the browsing experience independently of the browser. With Acrylic you can also gracefully overcome downtimes of your DNS servers without disrupting your work, because in that case you will at least be able to connect to your favourite websites and to your email server.
