Annoyingly, this:

Please be advised that development of and support for Privatefirewall has been suspended and will resume when and if a viable licensing or other business arrangement is established. Thank you for your support! CURRENT VERSION - 7.0.30.3, posted 12/19/2013

I experience the same behavior on Win10.

In the beginning, I had a few Win 10 pc crash issues when reading the Advanced Reports. I think this is a great kinda simple program to check what's going on in a system on occasion, but I think the average person is probably best off going w/the Microsoft firewall system to avoid the complexities.

A very customizable firewall, and application monitoring. Very flexible, yet very technical. I use it with windows 7.

The only real firewall I know, like the old sygate firewall but updated to fight the new officially opened microsoft Windows's doors.

Excellent application. Works right out of the box. Rules available. Settings can be exported and imported.

This is an excellent application. Low memory usage and state-of-the-art protection. What else do you need? It indeed requires some knowledge of what you are doing. So if it asks you to allow or block an application you need to know what the application is trying to do. This firewall is a consistent winner of firewall competitions. It allows you to completely take into your hands all the communications and applications on your computer.

Highly recommended!! Give it a try!
