Several requests: See IP:port on alert, new columns, filter log view, DPI scaling clarity, etc

I am excited to have learned about Fort, and hope it can be the best Windows firewall choice. I did not want to dump all my ideas into new issues right away in case that is not courteous. I have looked through the open issues and saw that Allowed Connections, profiles, and domain name filtering are already opened.

• feature so on alert, see not just program that initiated the connection request, but the connection's local IP, local port, remote IP, remote port, protocol, and direction inbound/outbound (like Windows Firewall Control's notification window)

• also maybe see related rules? so if there is an existing rule for that program or service, you could e.g. edit existing rule to add this IP/port

• feature to add/hide new columns for separate IP and port in Statistics/Blocked Connections, not just IP:Port columns (and hopefully the same for allowed connections in the future)

• feature to sort columns in Statistics/Blocked connections (and hopefully the same for allowed connections in the future)

• feature to optionally filter out certain programs (or addresses, or ports, or anything that's local-only, etc.) from view in Statistics/Block Connections (and hopefully the same for allowed connections in the future)

• feature to create wildcard rule from within alert

• feature to see which Program listing, Rule, Zone, Group, and/or Schedule triggered a particular connection to be blocked in Statistics/Blocked Connections (and hopefully the same for allowed connections in the future)

• feature to see which program initiated DNS lookup?

• fix text clarity when DPI scaling is at e.g. 150%
  Picture below. Circled in red look somewhat wrong. Circled in green look okay to me.

fix text clarity when DPI scaling is at e.g. 150%

Try to:

• rename the qt.conf file to old-qt.conf in the installation folder
• restart Fort Firewall

The qt.conf forces to use old "GDI" font engine by Qt.

New "DirectWrite" font engine caches all fonts in memory and consumes e.g. 30MB against 15MB with old one for me: QTBUG-129933.

feature so on alert, see not just program that initiated the connection request, but the connection's local IP, local port, remote IP, remote port, protocol, and direction inbound/outbound (like Windows Firewall Control's notification window)

It will be added after implementing an "Ask to connect" filter mode. So you can view paused connections.

feature to create wildcard rule from within alert

Implemented in v3.15.3.
