[QUOTE="Decopi, post: 1101519, member: 67091"] Excellent choice. Kudos! Windows Firewall always has been, is and will be one of the best strong protections. For average-Joe-users, the default settings are fine, because Windows is focused on "usability". But for advanced-users, it needs to be customized, however by reading your posts, you have deep know-how about customizations, so it'll be easy for you. The good news is that the customization can be automated by scripts, and on the web is possible to find tons of these scripts (including scripts that lock and prevent Windows Firewall changes). More importantly, at Windows Firewall you can customize almost everything, including Windows Services, Svchost etc. Windows Firewall customized is perhaps one of the best options. And Andy Ful' software is perfect for hardening Windows, Defender or Firewall. Another excellent choice! It's a veteran solid software, well maintained, it has updates and upgrades, most of the reported bugs are fixed. More importantly, WFC is another software that allows the customization of almost everything, including Windows Services, Svchost etc. The Dev is very friendly, he is an open-minded guy, always ready to help, to answer questions, to give a hand if the user needs something etc. Yes, currently there are decent application firewalls actively developed! Some of them are focused on privacy, another are focused on security. But your choices (Windows Firewall and WFC) are great. It is important to mention that "developing" is not really critical. An internal firewall doesn't need tons of new functions. What any firewall really needs is: 1. The basic ability for rules customization (in/out, protocols, ports, source, destination etc) using its own kernel. 2. The full ability of control of any file (including Windows Services, Svchost etc). Here is where Comodo fails! 3. Maintenance (reported bugs fixed). Here is where Comodo fails! [/QUOTE]
