Fort Firewall is a standalone firewall application for Windows 7+ with its own kernel driver. It provides per-application network rules, bandwidth speed limiting, blocklist zones, and traffic statistics with a graphical bandwidth display.

Use cases

  • control which apps can access the network on windows
  • limit bandwidth usage of specific applications
  • block connections by ip address or port per program
  • set up blocklists to stop traffic to known bad hosts
  • monitor per-application network traffic statistics
  • replace windows firewall with more granular rules

When to choose

  • you need per-application firewall rules with wildcards and parent-process matching on windows
  • you want bandwidth throttling and traffic graphs in one tool
  • you need a standalone firewall with its own driver rather than wrapping Windows Filtering Platform UIs

When to avoid

  • you need a firewall for linux or macos
  • you cannot disable HVCI/Memory Integrity on Windows 10+
  • you want a zero-configuration firewall without rule management
