SonderShield 2.0.0

SonderShield 2.0.0

Android: Data Monitor

• New Data tab (replaces Rules): today's mobile and Wi-Fi usage, sent and received.
• Monthly plan: enter your plan's data and length once, then see what's left, the daily quota and when it ends.
• This week: a 7-day chart of mobile and Wi-Fi use.
• Needs Usage access once (the tab takes you to the right setting). Everything stays on the phone.
• Rules now live inside the Data tab.
• Settings icon is a gear now.

Windows: firewall, like Portmaster

• Connections: every app's live internet connections, with the site each one goes to. Connections straight to an IP are flagged.
• Per-app rules: Allow, Block all, No incoming, or No LAN for each app.
• Block by address or port for every app.
• Block all internet: a panic switch that cuts off every app. SonderShield itself keeps working so you can switch it back.
• Force DNS through SonderShield: stops browsers and apps using their own DNS (other DNS servers, DNS-over-TLS, known DNS-over-HTTPS resolvers) to get around filtering.
• DNS diagnostic: if Windows isn't sending lookups to SonderShield, "See why" shows what each network adapter is really using and how to fix it.

Windows: new look

• Home now uses the whole window: today's numbers with the all-time stats beside them, then the activity chart (24 hours / 7 days) and the top blocked sites, all animated like the phone.
• The shield shows it's starting up when you click it.
• Fixed: the DNS server menu closed when you moved the mouse.
• Settings icon is a gear.

Updating on Windows: Settings › Updates.
