   AdGuard is great, but it's not a firewall/port system.

   InviZible Pro vs Portmaster Comments

   Positive comment by RemovedUser · May 6, 2024

   Even though the firewall for this is less sophisticated, I still think it's a good alternative because of the dnscrypt protocol and anonymizing proxies. They're both "swiss-army knives" when it comes to privacy, but it's implemented in slightly different ways.

   OpenSnitch vs Portmaster Comments

   Positive comment by Alx84 · Feb 4, 2024

   OpenSnitch is much more superior to any other software, especially astro-turfed Portmaster. Portmaster doesn't detect even a fraction of what is actually happening on your system, whereas OpenSnitch catches it all. It's an application firewall everyone should have! You'll be amazed how many stuff pretending-to-be-FOSS software is phoning home on you.
