Serious Discussion What is your firewall security setup?

[Nunzio_77]

Utilizzo WHHL con Microsoft Defender con Avast Free Firewall.

È sufficiente installare il firewall Avast Free come unica parte della suite di sicurezza Avast Free. Avast FW utilizza il framework FW interno di Windows, quindi è solo un livello di lista nera dell'applicazione. È come se Glaswire pagasse gratuitamente. Ho aggiunto manualmente le regole di blocco per LolBins (non tutte perché alcuni dei LoLbin bloccati da Andy Ful in Firewall Hardening non esistevano nella mia configurazione di Windows 11).

Non riesco più a trovare le informazioni su MT di un membro che pubblica che Avast ha una nuova opzione di notifiche "limitate" in cui mostra solo popup relativi alla sicurezza (e non popup di upsell commerciali che cercano di convincerti a passare alla versione a pagamento) . Sembra che funzioni davvero (niente popup premium o sei a rischio perché non usi quelli a pagamento)

Portmaster was a bit to advanced for me, I really couldn't figure it out as confidently as I would have liked. GlassWire just makes more sense to me, easier to follow and understand. I think in some of my research, there was some controversy that if you buy the Pro version (register with them) of GlassWire, there was a privacy concern that they denied (of course) regarding any tracking on their end of your use.

Interesting.

I wonder if the lifetime version, that use to be for sale, still works with upgrades on GlassWire ?

NetLimiter is good.

Though not as easy.
