Some of the improvements include UNICODE paths, support for HTTP and HTTPS proxy protocols on the same Socks4/Socks5 port with HTTP header filtering that generates fake identity-dependent headers every time the identity is changed (proxy chains are also supported), support for NTLM proxies, a User Interface that makes Tor's options and actions more accessible, local banlist for forbidden addresses, private identity isolation, a point-and-click process interceptor that can redirect connections from programs that don't support proxies, also giving them fake information about the local system and support for .onion addresses. Also, it can estimate AS paths for all circuits and prevent AS path intersections, it can restrict circuits to be built using only nodes from different countries, can change circuit lengths and more.

PeerGuardian
PeerGuardian - a privacy oriented firewall application
PeerGuardian is a privacy oriented firewall application. It blocks connections to and from hosts specified in huge blocklists (thousands or millions of IP ranges). Its origin seeds in targeting aggressive IPs while you use P2P. PeerGuardian Linux: Not developed actively anymore. Team might still be around. Some unreleased changes on git. Outdated technology. Peerguardian OS X: Not developed anymore. We've lost contact with the OS X developer. PeerGuardian Windows: Not developed anymore. It's highly recommended to use PeerBlock instead, which is a continuation of PeerGuardian's development in Windows, with bug fixes and support for Windows Vista and Windows 7. Collaboration with peerblock.com is welcome! PeerGuardian is an open project. Not only is its source code open for you to read, use, and modify - but the project is open for you to join and contribute in any form (code, documentation, bug reports, web and support). -

SafeLine
Serve as a reverse proxy to protect your web services from attacks
SafeLine is a self-hosted WAF(Web Application Firewall) to protect your web apps from attacks and exploits. A web application firewall helps protect web apps by filtering and monitoring HTTP traffic between a web application and the Internet. It typically protects web apps from attacks such as SQL injection, XSS, code injection, os command injection, CRLF injection, LDAP injection, XPath injection, RCE, XXE, SSRF, path traversal, backdoor, brute force, HTTP-flood, bot abuse, among others. By deploying a WAF in front of a web application, a shield is placed between the web application and the Internet. While a proxy server protects a client machine’s identity by using an intermediary, a WAF is a type of reverse-proxy, protecting the server from exposure by having clients pass through the WAF before reaching the server. A WAF protects your web apps by filtering, monitoring, and blocking any malicious HTTP/S traffic traveling to the web application. -

CrowdSec
Firewall able to analyze visitor behavior & provide adapted response
CrowdSec - an open-source massively multiplayer firewall able to analyze visitor behavior & provide an adapted response to all kinds of attacks. It also leverages the crowd power to generate a global IP reputation database to protect the user network. Crowdsec shouldn't, and didn't crash any production so far we know, but some features might be missing or undergo evolutions. IP Blocklists are limited to very-safe-to-ban IPs only (~5% of the global database so far, will grow soon). A modern behavior detection system, written in Go. It stacks on Fail2ban's philosophy, but uses Grok patterns & YAML grammar to analyse logs, a modern decoupled approach (detect here, remedy there) for Cloud/Containers/VM based infrastructures. Once detected you can remedy threats with various bouncers (block, 403, Captchas, etc.) and blocked IPs are shared among all users to further improve their security. Crowdsec is an open-source, lightweight software, detecting peers with aggressive behaviors. -

FireHOL
A firewall for humans.
FireHOL is a language (and a program to run it) that builds secure, stateful firewalls from easy-to-understand, human-readable configurations. The configurations stay readable even for very complex setups. FireQOS is a program that sets up traffic shaping from an easy-to-understand and flexible configuration file. Both programs abstract away the differences between IPv4 and IPv6. so you can concentrate on the rules you want. You can apply rules for IPv4 or IPv6, or both, as you need. -

OWASP ModSecurity CRS
OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set (CRS) Project
The OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set (CRS) is a curated, generic Web Application Firewall rule set that detects and blocks common attack categories across most web apps. It focuses on broad protection—SQL injection, cross-site scripting, local/remote file inclusion, command injection, and protocol violations—without requiring app-specific knowledge. Rules are organized into paranoia levels so operators can tune detection aggressiveness and balance false positives against coverage. An anomaly-scoring model accumulates rule hits per request, enabling nuanced blocking thresholds and easier incident triage. The project ships with extensive documentation, exclusion packages, and testing tools to help tailor deployment for frameworks, CDNs, and APIs. Deployed on engines such as ModSecurity or compatible WAFs, CRS is a widely used baseline for HTTP security in reverse proxies and gateways. -
