What it is

NetBastion in a paragraph

NetBastion shows which program is talking to which server right now and in the past, and lets you block or allow each one. The first time an app connects you are asked. It also manages DNS and the hosts file, and diagnoses Wi-Fi problems in sentences instead of error codes.

Planned for the first release

Live and historical list of connections per app, with the destination named
Block or allow any app, any destination, in one click; rules are undoable
First-time-connection alerts for new programs
DNS control, encrypted DNS and a hosts-file editor with backups
Wi-Fi diagnostics: signal, channel, driver, router, in plain words
Works on Windows 11 Home; no account, no telemetry
