[QUOTE="oldschool, post: 821136, member: 71262"] Glasswire - expensive, over-rated but a nice GUI if that's important to you. No, you should not use Simplewall + WFC. SW is a standalone FW based on the Windows Filtering Platform. I don't have experience with WFC, which is simply a front-end GUI for Windows Firewall, but I do know the current version is completely free and full-featured. I'd use that if I wanted such a software. Since TinyWall became unusable on 1809+, I've stuck with Windows Firewall. Windows Firewall is fine for most users. TinyWall was great because it was easy to setup, it was very secure and it had absolutely no notifications. It was a winning front-end GUI for Windows FW, but sadly the developer simply dropped off the map. Remember: Stay safe, not paranoid. (y) :cool: [/QUOTE]
