Happy new year to everyone. No doubt that this year will be exciting for the Haiku world and Oakbits will try to contribute to it. I already submitted some patches for our favorite os and hope to do more in the future.
On the Oakbits side I am very pleased to announce that NetLock 2.0 is almost completely ported on Haiku. The critical part was the driver that monitors network access. Thanks to the very modular architecture of the kernel this could be done quite easily. However there will probably be no public release before a beta version of haiku is available. This should let enough time to add the features planned for the next big version.

NetLock monitor is no more available for purchase. The next developments and releases will focus exclusively on Haiku. However the Zeta demonstration is still downloadable until a Haiku version is available.

After one long year of development, NetLock Monitor 2.0 is finally available. This release brings a lot of new things, the main one being address and port filtering. For the moment it is only available for Zeta, but the next step is obviously to make it run on Haiku.
Important for registered users : A new license is needed to register this release. You can get it for free from your account page.

NetLock 2.0 is under heavy development. Since it takes much more time than expected, here are some news about it. The biggest new feature will be port filtering. This will allow to do better access filtering. Here is a screenshot of the rule editor (still work in progress). Obviously editing these rules manually will only be an advanced user mode and NetLock 2 will come with "best default" rules and an automatic way to add new ones.
Moreover since Zeta is now definitely dead, a port to Haiku is in progress.
