TinyWall – A free, lightweight and non-intrusive firewall
- theprotocol 9y agotl;dr: a free firewall for Windows which blocks everything by default and doesn't alert you when a program fails to go through it - instead, blocked things go into a "recently blocked" list going back up to 2 minutes, where you can explicitly whitelist them. Windows Firewall has pretty bad defaults (e.g. unrestricted outgoing traffic among other things) and its advanced mode is a pain to work with. I've been using TinyWall for a while and it's come to be one of the first things I install on a fresh system. Disclosure: I am not in any way involved with this software nor its author.
- tapper 9y agoit works very well with screen readers. Lots of firewalls and malware programs don't witch screws over blind people who want to stay safe on there computers. I use it on windows 10 with NVDA.
