That or is Windows Firewall Control still ok to use sense it has been acquired by Malwarebytes ?
The question though is those of us that paid for Windows Firewall Control will we will be able to keep it and get updates ?
That is why I am looking for a alternative if possible.
I don't use it but I believe it still works fine. I know nothing about MBAM's future plans, e.g. include it as part of a full MBAM suite.
If you were to need an alternative, you could use TinyWall, which I love, on two preconditions:
#1. The dev. has disappeared, has no known contact with usual forums and TW
appears to be no longer maintained and developed. This does not pose a problem itself because MS has not changed its firewall in quite a few years and TW works just fine, and should continue unless/until MS actually makes substantive changes to its FW. But then there is #2 - The TW download from the dev's site no longer installs in Windows 10 due to certificate issues, and now a 3rd party known on GitHub has included TW with an updated installer that
does work. He has done this as part of here:
Windows 10 Privacy Guide - Spring Creators Update and he prefers TW himself. So, you would have to willing to drink the Kool-Aid and download it from there. Or you could change the your clock in Windows to an earlier date and fool your machine into accepting the dev's original version - an option that some at Wilders have made work.
The reasons for this suggestion are that I am a non-technical user and TW is a great app that is intuitive and simple to use, with no popups, and I & others have used the 3rd party version - there are no problems with its functionality. It is a light and easy way to harden WF. But you should be able to continue using WFC until/unless they add it to have a full-featured suite, in which case you will need an alternative. Thus, my extended post. Hope this helps!
