#### The firewall that asks before a program goes online

jsBudbrainFirewall asks you before a program goes online. When an application
wants to connect to the internet – or accept a connection from outside – a
clear question appears: which program, which destination, which port. You
choose: allow or block, just now, for an hour, until the program ends, or for
good. Your answers become rules you can change at any time.

* One question at a time, even when many programs knock at once
* Every connection, in and out, neatly grouped by program
* Turn a rule from allow to block – and back – with one click
* Everything that was blocked – and why
* Live traffic of your computer at the top of the window
* One switch turns the whole firewall off and on

Available in 83 languages.

The firewall needs three permissions. Paste this one line into a terminal and
press Enter:

sudo sh -c 'for i in firewall-control network-observe system-observe; do snap connect jsbudbrainfirewall:$i; done; snap restart jsbudbrainfirewall'

Keywords: firewall, application firewall, outbound firewall, network
security, block connections, allow connections, internet access, privacy,
network monitor

Also available as .deb, RPM and for Arch at

## Enable snaps on Kubuntu and install jsBudbrainFirewall

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Kubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://kubuntu.org/) or later, including [Kubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu) and [Kubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CosmicCuttlefish/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

Versions of Kubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-14-04-lts) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-15-10) don’t include *snap* by default, but *snap* can be installed from the command line as follows:
