Current

Faster everyday control and clearer evidence of what NetBlocker is blocking.

  • Keeps quick controls available in the menu bar after the main window closes.
  • Adds temporary access for individual apps and a quick way to pause all blocking.
  • Synchronizes protection and temporary-access changes immediately between the main window and menu bar.
  • Improves the safety of related-process associations and refines protection-state feedback.
