Step-by-Step Guide
1- Fork Sandboxie Plus on GitHub.
2- Create two folders inside the Installer directory:
Release
Output
3- Compile the source code with GitHub Actions. Rename the compiled file (Sandbox_Plus-x64) to SbiePlus64.
4- Download the master source code and place the compiled .exe files into the Release folder.
5- Allow any security alerts in Windows Protection History (unsigned app warning).
6- Download and install Inno Setup.
7- Open Sandboxie-Plus.iss in the Installer folder with Inno Setup.
8- Uncomment these lines in the script by removing ( ; ) before these words below
That’s it! You should now have Sandboxie Plus set up with compatibility for unsigned drivers on Windows 23H2.
Finally, if it doen't work, ditch windows 11 and switch to Nobara linux

what is the price for a signed driver? we already get SEVERAL ppl here. could we share it?
thanks
An EV cert is quite expensive (49USD/month at digicert) and I'm not interested in raising money to sign it. There're some shared certs which maybe cheaper but also risk being revoked at anytime.
After the code is signed, we also have to pass WHQL and get a signature from Microsoft, which also might be a troublesome process.
Just want to say that I respect that this fork exists, merely due to the fact that I'm appalled how the open source fork of Sandboxie has come full circle with restrictions and questionable licensing practices. The "Sandboxie Plus Eternal" for $1000 is meme-worthy and the original Sandboxie developers were nowhere close to having that level of audacity. Further irony being that all this driver signing is required to work around this (while the project technically is open source), all while the forked Sandboxie project itself (the Sandboxie Plus one) uses a purloined signing certificate that originally belonged to the Tonalio GmbH. On one hand it's great that an updated fork of Sandboxie exists, yet on the other hand, I can't help but feel that ethics have been falling to the wayside.
Hi all, I know this is a bit off topic, but I really encourage everyone to sponsor Sandboxie Plus (SBP) instead of using unsigned versions. Supporting the author keeps the project alive.
US$1/month (Afadian/Patreon) unlocks the essential blue/red boxes for up to "reasonable" number of PCs—very fair.
US$3/month gives you encrypted boxes, useful as an app locker if you need it (much better than Gilo File Locker).
US$6/month isn’t necessary if you already use Proxifier, unless you need DNS filtering.
Sponsorship is way more affordable and reasonable than the old license model (€60 + €30/year). If you value SBP, please consider supporting the author!
ps: afadian is a chinese platform so author make it 25% cheaper.
i'll say let's use afadian, so more ppl = more bargin power.

The lowest tier available on Patreon seems to be $3 a month, which is quite a lot for a largely static 1 man project you have to rent forever. The site doesn't seem to say anything about Afadian and everything about it looks like a real pain to use in this part of the world.
Bums me out that the more secure sandbox types will always be locked behind a perpetual paywall. The fancy bells and whistles, sure, but hiding your host filesystem from the sandbox is just such a basic feature and was essentially finished years ago. I am glad the project is maintained but I never expected the licensing to be this rough. Sometimes I wonder if they're really losing money overall by pricing out so many potential customers.
its in the github, sponsor, then afadian.
its aim for chinese who got high over gdp but low gdp per head.
its like different price on ios or android store.
if u are outside china, buying from pateon is more moral.
but honestly i always choose the cheapest one when experience is almost
same. ps africa appleid etc

Yes, unsigned Sandboxie is mainly for test purposes instead of daily use. If you don't want to spend time bypassing Microsoft limitations, you can also try afadian. IIRC it supports paypal & doesn't require a Chinese phone number.
As for the ethical concerns, I'd like to point out that the Sandboxie Plus license explicitly permits using forks for any non-commercial personal purposes, including cracking and circumventing paywalls. As "open-source" software, the official project charges such a high price precisely by leveraging Microsoft's signing restrictions.
i am chinese, i tried to pay at afadian.
for 28rmb paypal charge me at 34-36 hkd, which should be only 30hkd.
i.e. 30hkd to 36hkd (20%) by paypal.
as a poor chinese i got wechat so i pay as expected 28rmb using wechat.

If the support was one-off (with no expectation of indefinite updates) or what was available for free was worthwhile, then perhaps I'd be willing to support them for extra features. But I don't like their practice of claiming the software is 'open source' and then pay-walling almost all of the features behind a subscription.
It's a shame this no longer seems to work, I guess I'll have to hope the situation changes in future.
I haven't tried this out myself, but you can try! This should in theory work on Windows 11 as well. Personally I run Sandboxie simply with test mode on.

can u guide me also?
mine got block by Microsoft's driver blocklist/cert expired
i dont know how to modify the code or use alternative driver
i aslo tried reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CI\Config /v "VulnerableDriverBlocklistEnable" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
but same problem

9- Compile the script in Inno Setup to create the setup file. Don’t run it yet!
10- (Optional for Windows 11) Disable BitLocker recovery by running:
11- Copy code
Suspend-BitLocker -MountPoint "C:" -RebootCount 0
Enter Test Mode by running:
12- Copy code
bcdedit /set testsigning on
Run the setup file to install Sandboxie Plus in Program Files.13- Download GDRVLoader from https://github.com/zer0condition/GDRVLoader and allow it in Windows Security.
14- Move GDRVLoader.exe to C:\Program Files\SbiePlus64.
15- Disable the Vulnerable Driver Blocklist by running:
16- Copy code
reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CI\Config /v "VulnerableDriverBlocklistEnable" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
Load the driver:17- Open Command Prompt, navigate to C:\Program Files\SbiePlus64 By:
cd C:\Program Files\SbiePlus64
18- Copy code
GDRVLoader.exe SbieDrv.sys
When prompted, type load.
19- Run Sandboxie Plus to ensure it operates with the loaded driver.
20- (Optional) Use the following certificate information to have support certification:
That’s it! You should now have Sandboxie Plus set up with compatibility for unsigned drivers on Windows 23H2.

Anybody found out how to get driver to run without test mode being on?
Using KDP-compatible-driver-loader ends up with invalid signature sandman.exe.sig error even though it loads. Eventually it will BSOD.
GDRVLoader only works with test mode on.

If this workaround doesn't work on your computer, there's also a stable but troublesome method to self-sign the patched driver with test mode off.
