Back in 2001 I was using BlackIce intrusion detection software. https://www.itprotoday.com/compute-engines/blackice
http://blackice-pc-protection.networkice.com It is an intrusion detection system. When I had it installed I did not see any server software for it, I just installed the BlackIce software and then it protected my computer. I would have had an anti-virus as well, but I don't remember what it was. At one point in time instead of BlackIce I had DShield and at another point in time I had MyNetWatchman. All these are intrusion detection systems, they report about invalid port connection attempts to send the data to their server system which tracks the spreads of malware etc across the internet from it's many sensor softwares worldwide, allowing you to be warned. https://www.dshield.org/ https://dealbook.nytimes.com/2014/11/09/on-the-hunt-for-hackers-but-not-the-spotlight/ Jevan.
