    Portmaster blocks your whole internet connection. The toggles in the app do absolutely nothing.

    Portmaster has more features, but is much more bloated. Simplewall uses much less system resources. Plus, in terms of DNS, DNScrypt has more features than Portmaster...

    The graphs are a nice feature.. but it doesn't show ports that are being used, so that's a down.

    This is the best alternative I've seen... only the UI is broken for newer Ubuntu-based distros, citing a Python bug... There's a workaround (not a fix), but it's messy and doesn't always work.

    A worthy alternative to simplewall for Linux. It's solid, stable and gives you tons of options for blocking/allowing traffic. If only the UI was a bit less clunky...
