[QUOTE="Deletedmessiah, post: 789403, member: 58665"] Not sure if I understand what you mean by this. I use and recommend whitelist mode since its better, simplewall shows notification when a process asks for connection, you select allow or block from there. If you click block, it keeps getting blocked unless you allow by ticking the app in the list. If the blocked process annoys you with notifications asking for connecting later on, you can disable notification for that particular process. Make sure that you have enabled dropped packet notification from Settings> Dropped packet log(for whitelist mode only) It doesn't have some of those features of Glasswire like showing how much bandwidth a process is using or real time bandwidth connection speed of the particular process. You just get notification when a process asks for connection and you allow or block. If later you want to change it, you can change it from simplewall dashboard with ticking or unticking. Its very easy to use firewall. I would love a bandwidth monitoring feature but it would take a lot of time and work for the developer, he probably won't add those features but rather focus on Firewall security related features.
