Binisoft WFC till im forced to switch to Win 10 if i buy new hardware. Then i hope that the win 10 devs don't break it.
The amount of rules win 10 wants to get for that s.. appstore (and other stuff) makes me shudder.

I had similar issue when I tried it about a year ago. It would be a good product if it was stable.

Right now I use simplewall. I also like WFC but simplewall is lighter and easier(not that WFC is difficult) I wish there was a standalone firewall thats as good as Eset's firewall.
I previously thought of using Comodo firewall module only but then CS said not to do so.

Are you talking about reinstalling Windows while installing simplewall? If so, then no.
I think you got confused with UTM Simplewall? Thats hardware firewall firmware. What I'm using is simplewall by henrypp: simplewall
