It seems to me a welcome premiere, we are forced to take into account the security of our DAW.

Before that, it was not even known that the guys from Orbs send the data with the musicians’ work on their server.

Thanks for sharing.

In reply to creed3. Are useless, it does not work per plugins. Maybe it will be such a plugin on Mac too.

In reply to NexThit. They take our data for statistics. There is nothing dangerous, but not nice... they should have notified us.

I tested it myself, this plugin can do what other security systems can’t…

Antivirus programs are zero until a program is flagged as malware. Who scans the audio plugins on time? Anyway, it takes a long time.

WireShark is not able to says which plugin connects to the internet so it’s useless.

Can we block a plugin with a firewall?

This does not have these limitations.

For Mac users, check out https://objective-see.org/tools.html. These aren’t specific helpers to music apps only but ALL apps to monitor internet connections, disk access, etc.

I’m curious why Vital sends so much data to their server. It’s obvious that not only my login email and password are sent.

In reply to Rick. They're wasting precious space on your HD -- space that could be used for much better plugins that don't require WAP, Waves Central, or their annoying plugin wrapper.

This program is great, will be my first security option because it’s dedicated to audio plugins. I can’t believe it’s free.

In reply to Daniel. I see 2 detections on the 64bit, neither by reputable anti-virus companies, and 5 on the 32bit, but all AI machine learning 'guesses', which are nearly-almost false positives.
