Hi just wanted to ask the updates you are doing is it to add options or is it because the app is unstable to use?
I'd like to try it out.Thanks

Hi. There are yet many tasks to do, especially Rules to filter by protocol/ports/etc per apps.

Feel free to try it out, no known instabilities exist.

Some restrictions:
- HVCI (Core Isolation) is not supported, but I'm working on it now.
