Paranoid users should block all traffic in firewall and manually allow connections they need

I would love a tier list of firewalls!

Hi Leo,
Unfortunately tinywall dev is no longer active in the project. I hope to see a test of simplewall, which uses another type of blocking and see how effective it is. Fort firewall is very similar to simplewall, but simplewall is more widespread among users.
And thanks for the easy to understand videos.

switched from tinywall to Malwarebytes Windows Firewall Control back when a windows 10 update stopped tinywall from working. it's similar since it also just controls the windows firewall and gives you way better control over it. But it's missing the few features of tinywall, like protecting the hosts file and having an established list of malicious ips. on the other hand you can check every connections reputation, check files on virustotal, start whois and get info on ports...

How does Portmaster stack up against Tinywall?

this is one of your best videos. Clear, to the point and useful.

Tinywall blocks all programs outside a small whitelist it has, so sure it blocked the stealer, but it also will block most other programs unless you manually allow them.

I highly recommend anyone to give portmaster a shot, I love tinywall and used it for good bit while on windows, but its no that active of a project anymore. Portmaster is still open source and is actively maintained and developed (also works on linux)

What about NextDNS or Controld? Could they be seen as an alternative also?

I use ESET's firewall in interactive mode which lets you create persistent rules on the fly and also shows the file reputation on the popup and the signature etc.. Super useful. It's also possible to create a firewall rule to allow outgoing traffic only from signed executables. But I haven't created a rule like that since it may be bypassed if the malware uses a cmd child process etc. to connect.

As a paranoid user, I have tinywall and simplewall installed and both are set to block all traffic unless I manually allow them. both are free btw.

Which virtual environment you use/recommend for testing malwares

What about the firewall that comes with Bitdefender? I am just wondering because I don't think the system would allow me to run two firewalls at the same time.

Question: Do a "Safe/secure" DNS provide the same/similar service as a blocklist?
I like to belive a router is a bit harder to disable, but I'm really not that certain anymore.

I remember we used blocklists a decade or two ago for known bad actors, but how do you scale them to todays threaths on a local computer?

In the company where I work as IT I have installed in every computer Tinywall. Free, easy to setup with custom configuration and works great.
