To the bad guys, your Mac is just an IP address and open ports. Intego NetBarrier blocks unsolicited visitors in their tracks, keeping the bad guys out of your Mac. It's easy to set up, and can be customized to your needs.
The software actively monitors applications using your network. Whenever a connection is opened, it asks if you want to allow it. If you recognize the application, NetBarrier will let it run. If not, it’ll block it. If something is using too much bandwidth for your liking, you’ll be able to identify it and shut it down.
What's more, ntego Net Barrier X8 makes changes to your firewall simple and, better yet, understandable. Want to temporarily allow connections from the Internet or allow remote desktop? No problem.
