I am testing IceFloor with El Capitan 10.11.6 with Menulet and it seems a great PF.
How can I see the banned IP and how can I remove a banned IP address ?
Thanks

I'd be a lot happier with it if it loaded my existing pf.conf rules into itself so I could check/use them immediately. Instead, it took over and blocked everything from the get go. I had to uninstall it again to get back online. So although it looks really good, and really does seem to cover just about everything needed, if you have an existing rule set - be careful. Correct me if I'm wrong of course, I usually am.

Great that you are providing the sources with your project!
I would like to compile the sources myself, already have Xcode on my system.
However, I'm lacking the information on building the application; things like a project or makefile.
Do you have any tips/guidance on how to start?

Well all I wanted to do is limit my upload speed when I have to upload large files (I have no qos). I've tried many other apps that claimed to do that but after a long time this is the only one that works. A bit complicated to use for me, I'm sure this app got many other functions, but I'm happy I can upload large files without slowing down my internet.
