I was wondering if anyone has used this app. Looks interesting. Appears to also use the Windows Firewall. Plus, I see a bunch of interesting other programs they offer.

Been using this piece of software for three years. Very user-friendly if you want to add outbound firewall rules to the Windows firewall and make a backup of those rules. Doesn't consume system resources.
Thanks

Is the whitelisting function useful? Does it block by processes as well as exes?

I only used the blacklisting functions. Since version 1.5, FAB added a block process feature.
Nice description of this app:

Hard to believe only one person on this forum has tried this firewall. I guess they think they are really smart or something. I have now noticed you and will follow your posts;) You are no dummy. I might ask you a few questions about your setup of this firewall if that is, ok?
Oh ya, what ever happened to ForgottenSeer 58943? Is he still in his covid bunker?

FAB is a portable application that I don't use very often. But whenever I change firewall rules, I always make sure to export a list of my changed rules to a folder. And I make a backup of this folder.

I tried using it for the first time in a while, I noticed that the usability has been improved compared to before, such as setting a rule by specifying the folder containing the application.
Currently, I am using wfc of binisoft, but I will try using this software as well.:D

You have simple and excellent software such as DNS jumper. You can enjoy the homepage here just by looking at it.(y)
