Thanks for the link. I'm curious how it compares to https://www.binisoft.org/wfc.php https://www.binisoft.org/wfc.php although this looks to be free I don't think it's open source. Not having much luck finding license info for it.
- hendersoon 9y agoI have not used Simplewall but I am a paid customer of Binisoft WFC and do recommend it. WFC works great and is frequently upgraded, the developer is very responsive to his users. It does have a crude ugly UI, so just don't expect it to look like Little Snitch (which I also endorse on MacOS) or Glasswire.
- mandelbulb 9y agoAs you can see in the feature comparison[1], the free edition doesn't cover Windows' system applications, it doesn't offer a lot of pre-defined rule sets, or Desktop integration. Binsoft's WFC does. However, if you're willing to spend money, Sphinx's product seems to offer quite a bit more features, but then you might as well consider other products out there. Also, Binsoft's WFC UI, especially that of the rules editor, slowed down for me pretty heavily with just a hundred rules. I'm not sure how Sphinx W10FC handles it but the Binsoft WFC doesn't accept not pre-defined file types. So if you have a binary with a random suffix, like anti-cheating rootkits often do, you can only add a generic allow or deny rule. You can't configure the rule.
