[QUOTE="Agent 47, post: 945192, member: 92009"] Some of the responses above are ignoring that I asked for a non-US solution, and one that doesn't rely on Windows firewall. Commodo, ZoneAlarm, ... those are all US-based companies. That would be fine if they were open source, but they aren't. I can block Windows telemetry with various approaches including paid solutions. The danger from US-made firewalls isn't just telemetry, but potential backdoors to allow access into your system. If you're suggesting that Windows itself has backdoors, then that's exactly why I want a non-US firewall from a company other than Microsoft. So that such access can be detected and blocked. I already block most Windows services with my current firewall. [/QUOTE]
