A Little Snitch for Windows

With all the reverse engineering out there going on now, I really hope someone does the REA with BlackICE. I miss that software so much. If it works native and is high quality with the simplistic GUI of ZoneAlarm, I would be so happy.

Isn't this just ZoneAlarm?

Good, older alternative (seems to be not this user friendly) is Malwarebytes Window Firewall Control.

Portmaster is my go-to

Edit: and glasswire although portmaster is my favorite

Another alternative is Simplewall: https://github.com/henrypp/simplewall

People are conjuring up all kinds of apps slapped together by LLMs and actually have the gal to ask money for them?!

Cool.

It would be better if it suggested the consequences of stopping programs from phoning home, like will this program say the license check failed after 2 weeks, or will it keep working.

I'd rather not use a security tool which is 100% vibeslop with a 100% vibeslop website.

How is this better and more comprehensive than Fort Firewall? https://github.com/tnodir/fort

> Most firewalls only watch what comes in

Uh, no they don't. I haven't used a firewall in 20 years that hasn't had both inbound and outbound monitoring lol.

I've been working on my own version of this for a little over a year. Sigh.

I beg you. At the very least, please, write your own headers. I don't even need you to write the whole copy on the page, but please, don't make us read that claudease slop. This makes the app you advertise look like the lowest of efforts, no matter what it is.

"Know which apps are calling home." "Every connection, your call"

slop
