[QUOTE="hogrbe, post: 1056610, member: 103692"] As a long-time Outpost user, I was facing the same problem of finding a good replacement and kept using Outpost for years after its demise in 2015. Recently I found G-Data, a German Internet Securiy Suite that includes a very decent Firewall. It even allows for different rule sets (something Outpost didn't have) so you can assign different sets for different network interfaces, like direct internet, local network (via router) or a VPN. Setting up and ordering rules also remind me of Kerio 2.1.5. I also use Linux (more than Windows), in particular Debian, and there is absolutely no reason to worry about telemetry. Linux distro's usually have UFW installed by default or you can install it from the repository. With UFW you can open/close ports easily. Linux is safer than Windows probably will ever be. [/QUOTE]
