Plax Network Suite

Plax Network Suite is a powerful collection of network tools that enables you to have full control over your computer's internet activity. It's easy to use, making it ideal for tech novices and veterans alike. The Windows Firewall button is designed for quick access, providing you with an instant ON/OFF switch for Windows XP Firewall. Windows Firewall aims to be both powerful and easy to use, working discreetly in the background without interrupting your work. It can help prevent viruses and worms from infecting your computer, ask for permission to block or unblock connection requests from applications and software, and create a security log whenever required. For those without other firewall software, Windows Firewall is an automatic first line of defense.

In case you need to quickly lockdown your internet access, Plax Network Suite has a block-all-internet-connections button that shields your computer from hackers and spyware. Additionally, the software lets you cloak your computer IP address by blocking all inbound ping connections. This feature keeps your computer's online status private from other users.

One of Plax Network Suite's most useful features is the visual report it provides, showing all open TCP/IP and UDP ports on your computer, along with the owning application mapping. This is helpful in quickly identifying unknown open ports and their associated applications. Detailed information about each network connection is provided, including the protocol, process ID, process name, local address, local port, remote address, remote port, and connection state.

Plax Network Suite also includes a port scanner, which acts as an active reconnaissance tool. You just need to enter the IP address to be scanned and the range of ports, and within seconds, you can find out which ports are open on the target PC. Plax Network Suite prioritizes its users' security without compromising ease of use, and all its features are aimed at giving users complete control over their computer's internet activity.
