(IDEA) Pausing / Disabling Portmaster Temporairly

Open twoex opened this issue 4 weeks ago • 2 comments

A) Implement the ability to temporarily disable / pause Portmaster.....

  • sometimes we have to or need to, e.g. testing...
  • sometimes we might forget to turn it back on or think its running after getting busy

B) useful additional feature : when PM is paused or temporarily disabled, PM would continue to collect necessary logs silently that could be viewed afterwards...

A few quick visual mockups... so many variations would be possible, but I believe the easiest/simplest would be using the popup/overlay/modal box approach...

Hi. Thank you for the mockups — they look great. We are actively testing similar functionality https://github.com/safing/portmaster/issues/1867#issuecomment-3626506550
