#1 Rule Based

[Anonymous]

Please make the firewall rule based with an advanced
learning mode specifying the rule:

- this/every port
- this application/any application
- this address/any address
- this direction/either direction

Then you should be able to use the rule to:
- Block Always
- Allow Always
- Block for X minutes (self deleting-rule)
- Allow for X minutes (self deleting-rule)

Without specifying any rule you should be able to
- Allow Once
- Block Once
- Allow for X minutes
- Block for X minutes

Thank you

After discovering the tdi_fw project
[https://sourceforge.net/projects/tdifw/]. I have decided to
implement an interface for this project, allowing the user
to monitor connections etc. in a similar manner to that
allowed by Tiny Personal Firewall.

The tdi_fw does not allow dynamic manipulation of the rules,
and your machine needs to be restarted for changes to take
effect. It is my intension to implement dynamic changes to
the rule set, though I am unsure of how this will be done
using the tdi_fw engine, it may involve a rather ugly hack,
which I will try and avoid.

I am also interested in implmenting awareness of virii and
other malicious applications, such that these may be blocked
at the port even if the port is designated open by the user
(at least block them unless the user actually wants to
download it).
