I decided to take another look at the latest version of Simplewall and it prompted to disable Windows Firewall. Is that really safe to do? If you do then don't you lose the @Andy Ful firewall hardening features of blocking LOL bins etc? Or is there conflict if leaving both turned on while using Simplewall? (I know windows notification will keep screaming about firewall being off!)

@Tutman your best bet is to make efforts to link-up with @henry++ either here or over on his SimpleWall GitHub page. There is lots of undocumented stuff about SimpleWall. The deep dives can get complicated.
