Okay, today I decided to get rid of Portmaster Firewall because I was noticing that I checked the logs in Portmaster almost like a paranoid fool. Just to see if something was doing anything it was not allowed to. It is a great Firewall, but I was losing my peace of mind. o_O

I replaced it with a more simple program namely Simplewall. Saw it being mentioned here on MT so it could not be so bad. LD I still use NextDNS systemwide so I actually do not loose any security in my opinion. Everything in Simplewall is clear to me but I have no idea if I should do anything with the User Rules settings shown below?

It mentions deactivated rules 9/9, does this indeed mean those are deactivated or not? Should I do something with these rules or can I just leave it as is?

Never mind, I will be reverting back to Portmaster, just feels better. Does mean I will have to learn to stay calm and not check so much. :)
