I'm developing an app for filtering network connections from clients to my server (deny or allow to connect to my server).
I'm researching and found some resources like Windows Firewall API.
But I don't know if it's necessary for me or not.
What's the best API or solution to resolve it?
Thank so much.
regards,
Why don't you use an already-developed and proven app in the first place? If you really want to develop a filtering layer then what you need is a Filter driver and more specifically NDIS filter . A sample solution can be found here. But unless you are absolutely sure what you are doing and what you want to achieve I'd strongly suggest that you stick to an off-the-shelf solution - any firewall will be decent, or even a linux machine in front of your server with appropriate iptables rules.
