Lumenet is a native Windows firewall that shows every app's connections as they happen, asks before anything new goes out, and keeps every byte of data on your machine.
How it works
When an app you haven't ruled on tries to reach the internet, Lumenet shows a clear prompt: which app, signed by whom, connecting where. Allow it, allow it once, or block it — and your answer becomes a rule you can review any time.
Allow or deny this connection. Your choice can be remembered as a rule.
The first attempt may fail while you decide. Most apps retry automatically once a rule is saved.
Everything in view
Every app that talks to the network, with live rates and one-tap allow or block.
Watch connections arc to their destination countries in real time.
Which apps used your bandwidth today, this week, or this month — by bytes or connections.
Different rules for home, work, and public Wi-Fi — switched automatically by network.
Let Lumenet watch quietly first, then turn what it saw into rules in one review.
First-time connections, new networks, and new devices on your LAN — surfaced, never buried.
Enforcement modes
Prompts for anything new; your rules do the rest.
Watches quietly and builds a baseline you review.
Only explicitly allowed apps get out. Everything else is stopped.
Enforces your rules without prompting — great for presentations.
Private by design
Lumenet stores everything in a local database on your machine. There's no telemetry and no analytics — the firewall watching your network doesn't phone home itself. Monitoring needs no account; a Forcental account is only used to activate Pro.
