The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

I discovered "simplewall", a portable, open-source, rule-based firewall, and thought it might be of interest. It works in either whitelist or blackist mode for control of applications and/or ports. It does not use the Windows Firewall, which could even be disabled.

Description: Simple tool to configure Windows Filtering Platform (WFP) which can configure network activity on your computer.

Features:
- Simple interface without annoying pop ups
- Dropped packets logging (Windows 7 and above)
- Internal blocking lists (malware, telemetry)
- Free and Open Source
- Localization support
- IPv4/IPv6 support

Supported OS: Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10
Platform architecture: 32-bit/64-bit
