[QUOTE="imuade, post: 771954, member: 73949"] I tried it before reading your post and I found out that it actually let you choose whether to disable WF or not. Simplewall works like Sphinx-soft W10FC: they create their own rules by using WFP, but these rules are disjoined from WF rules. Sphinx-soft made a very clear statement about rules precedences: - to block a connection you just need a blocking rule in either WF or WFP - to allow a connection you need an allow rule on both WF and WFP So, you need to set WF to allow any outgoing request and use W10FC/Simplewall to block what you wanna block. Even if an app adds an allow rule in WF, you can block that app by W10FC/Simplewall popup (thus creating a block rule) [/QUOTE]
