I didn't know either. I stopped reading about the mode when i saw learning as the name. I assumed it allows everything which it was something that doesn't interest me. I actually made a suggestion to the developer to change the name few minutes ago.
In what way is it lighter? Did WFC affect the speed of internet connections?
It uses too many cpu cycles when you have a lot of connections. In all honestly it uses a lot more cpu that simplefirewall for everything and i believe it's because it's manipulating windows firewall instead of just filtering like simplefirewall.
On the other hand WFC is only $10 and without any bugs while simplewall has some small bugs. It was still worth it for me to switch but we will see if i stick to it or if not.
No. You can add from notifications, browsing for the executable and from running processes menu it provides.
I wish it had. Thats one feature I liked about WFC. I'm thinking about giving it a try someday when you mentioned it being lighter than WFC.
It's easier to allow from alerts or running processes so you really shouldn't have a problem.
I use the extension for https filtering. I don't want adguard desktop to do it by replacing the sites certificate with their own.
Nope i haven't tried it.
The major reason why I don't use/test ReHIPS now is it's not fully compatible with my touchpad driver with regards to sandboxing some application (i.e. Touchpad gestures wouldn't work). Because of this "incompatibility" my usage of ReHIPS would be limited to some applications and the use of the HIPS.
