Vallum

Monitors application connections and offers to pass or block these. It can be used to increase privacy or to transparently protect non-admin users from unwanted connections on multi-user macs.

The afw firewall core allows you to choose which connections you want to log. Vallum is able to search and display raw logs, perform multi-level recursive queries, pie-chart graphs, monthly/daily graphic reports comparing or aggregating different items. You will be able to search a 5 millions rows logs database and find what you are looking for in a few seconds. Its powerful logging system will drive you to the relevant part of the information you are looking for, and being based on SQLite your logs can be analysed using third party tools or scripts.

Monitor apps connections and bandwidth usage in real time using Vallum Apps Monitor. Apps list is constantly updated and displays currently active connections for each app. Traffic counters and bandwidth usage meters allows you to find out which app is eating your bandwidth. Then, using Vallum, you can set bandwidth limits for each process, independently.
Run the Assistant to configure Vallum step by step. Restart it at any time to reconfigure your firewall from scratch. Configuration is done simply using buttons and controls, there’s no need to learn or type code or remember rule syntax. Rules are easy to identify and understand, and the Simulator allows you to test apps connections to verify your ruleset. Creating, editing, moving, copy/pasting objects is now much more easier with Vallum 3. And even configuring custom rulesets is now easier using app editor’s templates.

Unlike other Mac firewalls that are used to identify processes only by path, Vallum is able to identify processes also by signature fingerprint. This means that when you allow an app to connect, you are sure that only this app will be allowed. This feature increases both your privacy and security, if an app is corrupted or modified Vallum will display a warning. Additionally Vallum performs check on signature and certificates validity.
