I tried to use an application firewall on Windows and linux too. Fantastic software. However the reality of modern life is the worst offender is your web browser. I wasn't about to verify each destination IP so I ended up blanket allowing the binary. Fine. Then there's also a bunch of system processes on both operating systems that are overloaded. They do so many things using tiny system or kernel level binaries. In the end I disabled the software on both OS.
