How to run

pip install .
silentguard      # GTK GUI
silentguard-tui  # Text UI

Rules file (optional)

Create ~/.silentguard_rules.json to customize trust classification:

{
  "known_processes": ["firefox", "python3"],
  "trusted_ips": ["1.1.1.1"],
  "blocked_ips": ["203.0.113.10"]
}

When an IP is in blocked_ips, it appears as Blocked in the UI/TUI.
