Windows Firewall Control is closed source</thread>

  • The main difference is that simplewall is not a control UI over the native Windows Firewall, and does not interact in any level with Windows Firewall, it's more like Comodo Firewall or zonealarm firewall.
  • it has better interface
  • Free and open source
  • you are not under the mercy of windows Firewall and can even block windows system files from connecting

I use both, WFC on families W10, and SW on my machines. And I wish to have the ability to create a rule:  automatically allows digitally signed programs, with low priority. To make SW like learning mode in WFC.

me after some time : simplewall is wayy better , when it comes to bocking and allowing rules , wfc is just slow at opening logs and rules and confusing as well also wfc is less trustable , bcz malicious programs target the firewall , but not simplewall (bcz its uncommon ) thank you devs for keeping such app free
