[QUOTE="Decopi, post: 1101616, member: 67091"] Windows Firewall is focused on the average-Joe-user, who needs “usability” from the OS. Therefore, Windows is not interested in having average users messing with firewall rules. That is why its GUI is cumbersome and time-consuming. That being said, it is important to recognize that: 1. From Windows’ point of view, they are absolutely right, because hardening firewall rules will reduce or kill “usability.” Also, the default Windows Firewall settings are more than enough for average users. 2. Even for advanced users, firewall rules are often cumbersome and time-consuming, regardless of whether the GUI is user-friendly or not. It was easier in the past, but today, in our current hyper-connected society, with many synchronized devices etc, even the best and most user-friendly firewall, if it is a full-fledged software, then it is cumbersome and time-consuming to customize. 3. Considering that Windows Firewall is the most compatible firewall for Windows, advanced users looking to hardening security and privacy may find it worthwhile to invest time in customizing settings. As I mentioned, for Windows Firewall there are tons of scripts on the web, which can make 90% of Windows Firewall customization easier and faster. Maybe this isn't your case and you have other preferences. But your comments are an opportunity to guide other users who are reading us (also alerting them about the dangerous risks of abandonwares like Comodo). Yeap, you are right about wildcards. But at least and in compensation WFC has one of the best GUIs on the market. And both Windows Firewall and WFC, when compared to Comodo, are by far way much better, firstly because both are well maintained, with updates/upgrades, reported bugs fixed etc, and secondly, and most importantly, both allow full customization of any file (Comodo does not allow this). Back to WFC, I suggest you ask them for your wildcard issue. Compared to Comodo, you can ask them to fix bugs, and it is 100% guaranteed that your request will be totally ignored. But at WFC, they will at least try to implement your wildcard request (or another Dev will listen to your request and try to implement it). I totally agree. Unfortunately, facts are facts, reality is reality... and Comodo has been deprecated since 2017 (abandonware), is full of dangerous bugs (around ±500), the firewall is a placebo due to old design flaws, the antivirus is garbage, Containment has issues and is unusable for 99.99% of users. There is no problem in expressing our wishes and dreams about Comodo. But given the current dangerous situation of Comodo, it is our duty to be moral and responsible by alerting users about the risks of Comodo. [/QUOTE]
