Yes, it is just a GUI for WinFirewall (which does all the job) with some security options.

Yes, it should still get compatibility and security fixes.
I use Sphinxsoft W10 FW control and I seem to have a hunch that MBAM might include PUPs like Avast CCleaner in near future for promoting its products!

Very interesting that they are still updating it even after malwarebytes has bought over the product. I was really surprised to see the update.
I guess it's still safe to use because it's still in a way "under development and updates"

I still do not like this part, keeping one of the most exploitable services running in order for notifications to work. Really?!
DNS Client service had a merit on dialup connections and such, but not these days, especially with encrypted DNS requests.
I like this part, even though it is signed by Malwarebytes.

Is is a real firewall or just allow/block? I am still looking for something better, Fortknow looks great, except it does not allow IP ranges.
It uses WFP, but i use Spyshelter more for its hips, encryption module, and command-line parser.
no idea yet, i just installed it 2 days ago, i will dig deeper into it later. I'm more busy locking my system with it by creating specific rules. I need to relearn it, almost 5+ years last time used it.
Sphinxsoft W10 FW control looks difficult I tried it.
Maybe I am wrong. Is there tutorial somewhere ?Every app must be configured in free version. I save most of them in xml file so I found it as easy. Initial setup takes lot of time.Sphinxsoft W10 FW control looks difficult I tried it.
I think it encrypts send/receive logs and deletes logs once its shutdown. And stealth based protection for browsers and keyloggers(Input Encryption is what mean by encrypted comms. but it'll be expensive on battery power.)
I meant input encryption too, all I know is it works, I didn't go yet into details.
What about in the paid version does ever app need to be configured ?
Everything is automatically setup. Install and forget it rule. You also get learning mode as well.
