[QUOTE="ultim, post: 991447, member: 843"] Most of these are either related to v2 that worked completely differently, or to users not knowing what to whitelist to make a program work. Due to popups in WFC it is probably a bit easier to use because you don't need to manually figure out what exe to whitelist. But if you know how to use TinyWall's Connections panel that's not actually hard to do in TinyWall either (in most© cases). Also, I still argue that the popupless approach has its own benefits: Most importantly, you are much-much less likely to end up whitelisting something unwanted be it malicious or not, and much less likely to be fooled by malware claiming to be something else.
