1. Yes it does create a pw protected disk image with encryption.
However, information isn't kept secure.
Why? Because the app opens any disk image it owns without requesting any password- neither system nor 24 character secure password upon entry.
Just click the image and it's mounted, full access to everything stored there.
2. Automatic dismount on shut down ok. However mounted in an external drive and accessed by another LAN Mac the disk is again visible and mountable. Sure, you can't mount the disk unless password is known this time.
Whilst it performs basic create and save/ dismount disk images, there isn't any security worth noting except for inexperienced and naive new users.

We recommend that you don't select "store password to keychain" or "remember password" if you want to enter your password whenever you need to mount an encrypted vault,we really hope you can do more tests and don't jump at conclusion.MacFort offers more than simply encrypting files and folders.

Perhaps you are right. I'll check it again.

"However mounted in an external drive and accessed by another LAN Mac the disk is again visible and mountable",if a vault in an external drive is opened by another mac on a local network,of course
it will keep opening when you shutdown your mac,because forcing close vault may cause data loss if a file is currently being written to the vault by the mac on the lan.
If you want to unmount(mount) an encrypted vault,just double-click in the list of vaults to unmount(mount) it.And if you don't want to mount an vault at system start,please make sure "Keep open vaults open when start" is not checked in preferences.
Anyway,please contact support@madowsoft.com If you have any questions about MacFort:)
