Advice Request Simplewall (1.5GB) vs simplewall (1MB)

[jackuars]

When i was performing a Google Search for Simplewall, there were 2 striking results.

One is an enterprise grade firewall and bandwidth monitor that has an installation size of 1.5GB.

Another was a lighter firewall that has an installation size of 1MB.

Has anyone used the former one? Both of them are FREE

The former one is like a Pi-Hole but I can't find a great deal of information about it, nor if it is open or closed source.

Not related at all. The dev of the 2nd one is here on the forum and Wilders, and is more active there. He's a one man show. It's based on WFP.

The 1.5 GB one is UTM one, needs separate hardware or VM(not sure how you work with it in VM). Henry's simplewall is for Windows. Two very different software.

Simplewall the smaller size is a very good small size replacement for the windows firewall .

The first is an operating system for an UTM/Server. The second is an application for Windows.

They are 2 different software companies. Cannot be compared.
