Q: What's the performance impact on this, especially on windows? Basically negligible. Secure DNS might be a bit slower and you might feel some impact on low end devices. Q: Also what would happen if I installed a Windows gateway, using routing and remote access services, and then installed portmaster on that? You'd probably be cut off as incoming connections are blocked by default. Please place a config with exceptions before install or have (virtual) physical access when installing. Q: Oh and can I use this in conjunction with wire guard? How does it play with other vpns. We have a whole page on that in the docs: https://docs.safing.io/portmaster/install/status/vpn-compatibility https://docs.safing.io/portmaster/install/status/vpn-compati...

First of all, thanks for this, I've been using it today. I'll e-mail later with a longer list of comments/suggestions. First request would be a way to sync settings across multiple machines, or at least a way to import/export configs. I did get hit with the issue about having incoming connections blocked by default - realized RDP connections were blocked even from the local subnet, and had to go plug a physical monitor in. I was a bit surprised I couldn't figure out a clean way to allow inbound connections from the local network, but not from the internet. The docs at https://docs.safing.io/portmaster/settings https://docs.safing.io/portmaster/settings seem to imply that I can set various settings to different tiers - 7 for trusted, for untrusted, 4 for hacked, but even when I have the developer view tuned on, I just see a binary choice.
