A Little Snitch for Windows

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

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

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

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"

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

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

Isn't this just ZoneAlarm?

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

Portmaster is my go-to Edit: and glasswire although portmaster is my favorite

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.

> 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.

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.

Windows Firewall Control by binisoft https://binisoft.org/wfc is the real Little Snitch for Windows

Seems like tools like this get mentioned a lot lately. I think it's because there are more and more things the user allowed to leak out without the user knowing? (mostly through AI)

I used to be a fan of outgoing firewall control, but alarm fatigue became a major issue, and I just accept everything, which just game a false sense of security. Nowadays, I just use Windows built-in firewall.

> Windows' own components are allowed automatically, so you're only asked about the apps you installed That's not necessarily a good thing.
