We have released the third beta of
Connection Explorer™, an all-new app that makes it easy to see every connection your PC is making. With this update, attention was focused on the Firewall panel that was previously called blocked. On the panel, there are new controls for independently blocking inbound and outbound connections for each application as well as sparklines showing the activity for a particular app during the past 24 hours.
The goal with this update, is to provide a better look at per-app activity and control. When coupled with the Bandwidth panel, the Firewall panel makes it easy to block problematic applications, and the Bandwidth panel helps you understand where your data is flowing to on a per connection basis.
There are several performance improvements to the caching and database lookups but most importantly, for non-English Windows installations, tracking of connections should be more reliable over multiple sessions.
