+Portmaster 1.0 Release Marks it as a Solid Open-Source Application Firewall for Privacy-Focused Users
+======
+
+Portmaster is an all-in-one open-source privacy tool that you probably need. Give it a try!
+
+![Portmaster 1.0 Release Marks it as a Solid Open-Source Application Firewall for Privacy-Focused Users][1]
+
+Portmaster by [Safing][2] is a free and open-source application firewall that aims to automate the process of protecting the privacy of its users.
+
+**It allows you to monitor network activity, add custom connection rules for applications, and more.**
+
+We tested it during the alpha stage, and came to the conclusion that it had good potential to act as a viable alternative to [GlassWire][3]. Of course, it may not be a replacement, but it can be one in the near future:
+
+With the release of Portmaster 1.0, we can recommend everyone to give it a try.
+
+> 💡Portmaster 1.0 is a stable release suitable for every user.
+
+### 🆕 Portmaster 1.0: What's New?
+
+![portmaster 1.0][4]
+
+Considering this is Portmaster's first stable release, there could be room for improvement.
+
+However, some of the features that it brings with it include:
+
+- **Easy navigation to monitor app network connections**
+- **Secure DNS by default**
+- **Automatic blocking of trackers & malware**
+
+#### Automatic Blocking Of Trackers & Malware
+
+![portmaster 1.0 filter lists][5]
+
+Portmaster lets you automatically block various trackers and malware by using well-known filter lists from the likes of [AdAway][6], [abuse.ch][7], [AdGuard][8], and a few of their curated lists.
+
+#### Side-Dash Menu
+
+![portmaster 1.0 side dash menu][9]
+
+The presence of sidebar menu in Portmaster makes things easy, meaning it acts as a quick switcher between apps and settings.
+
+![portmaster side-dash][10]
+
+It also shows key information regarding apps that are using the network.
+
+Additionally, suppose you are using their [paid SPN service][11] (or Portmaster Unlimited). In that case, you can use the Side-Dash to see which countries each app connects to, alongside the number of identities in use.

+
+#### Other Features
+
+![allow or block connections][13]
+
+In addition to the key highlights, it also gives you some powerful abilities that include:
+
+- **Choose your favorite DNS-over-TLS provider, like Cloudflare, Quad9, AdGuard, etc., to encrypt DNS requests.**
+- **Allow/Block specific websites or applications.**
+- **Specify if you do not want your apps to connect to specific countries.**
+- **Block all p2p connections.**

+
+### 💭 My Thoughts
+
+Portmaster aims to succeed in a space where GlassWire is a very well-known name. It is easy to use and offers an intuitive experience.
+
+**But, GlassWire is not open-source and does not have a client for Linux.**
+
+With further refinements, I think it would be an impressive addition to every privacy-conscious computer user.
+
+Of course, a free and open-source alternative to any proprietary tool is a good thing, as it enables more users to try it out.
+
+And, Portmaster is something that helps you monitor your network connections and automate your privacy protections, I think you should take it for a spin! 😊
+
+💬 Is Portmaster a good application firewall for your use-case? What do you think about it?
