I have been using Windows firewall professionally since Windows XP.

Absolutely correct. Up to Win7 SP2 it was buggy and people used to disable it. It got better with SP3 and now it is pretty useful on Win10/11.
Customize it to your needs but do not disable it, a lot of Windows services/processes depend on it being active

Yep. I use Windows firewall as just one more layer. Cheers!

The Windows Firewall is an absolute must-have especially in corporate environments. Recall how devastating the WannaCry ransomware cryptoworm was back in 2017. Having the Windows Firewall enabled, blocking TCP/445, saved us from that lateral attack!

The Answer is yes, if its setup properly it will work properly. An extra Layer of protection is always good !

I've always had a looming question about this.

1st context: A firewall, generally, is to protect you from the outside network. Generally a Border/Gateway does that.
So when it came to Windows firewall, I always just had issues with programs not working. I used to disable it, but starting with win7 it had issues with printers or other shares if you disabled it. So I started just making an 'allow all' rule, then never had an issue again. But the question always remained.

Question: So who /what are you protecting to/from, by using a software firewall on the local PC, against your own PCs/network, if your real firewall is already doing the job ?
