[QUOTE="monkeylove, post: 1078616, member: 19756"] I've been using Firewall App Blocker on Windows firewall. I tried Malwarebytes Firewall Control with Kaspersky free, and it works fine. I think its main feature is a learning mode, but I felt that if no more additional software's installed then I might as well stick to the app blocker. The only annoying this is that when I have to update a game using a mod pack, I have to disable the firewall temporarily or add the file as a temporary rule. I thought of something more advanced, so I tried Comodo free firewall, and for some reason it worked fine with Kaspersky free. I think I uninstalled it because I felt it slowed down the system, which I think is the case when any security program with more features is running. I had difficulty with Portmaster, though: for some reason Firefox and Edge could no longer browse online. I'm certain it's something in the settings of either the browser or some other app that just needed changing, but I got impatient and decided to just remove the firewall. I also tried Avast free with the firewall turned on, but the latter looked basic. [/QUOTE]
