Comments and Reviews
Last version of TinyWall 2.1 was released in 2013. Localization pack (for translators) was updated in 2016. So, is it discontinued?.. TinyWall works on Windows 10, but now my choice is simplewall.
Does simplewall work the same as TinyWall? As I understand (haven't installed one yet), TinyWall doesn't install any extra services in your system, but rather provides a simpler UI to handle Window's built-in firewall. Does simplewall install any extra processes?
FAQ :
_The simplewall is implemented through WFP (Windows Filtering Platform) at user-mode level (no drivers etc.). _ MSDN (en.)
... _simplewall installs and configure his own WFP (Windows Filtering Platform) provider, it means that simplewall does not change any of Windows Firewall configuration _...

Black list by default, but Simplewall also ask what to do (via pop-up).
It doesn't block all connections from system applications, like Windows Update.
My favorite, simple, effective... Occasionally wont auto start. But otherwise great
Working well. Good for people who want a relatively simple firewall without cute stuff.
After 15 years of using COMODO, I switched to TinyWall - this is the best firewall add-on for the native Windows 10 firewall.
This is exactly what I was looking for, a tinny, simple, free yet effective firewall.
After using this program I noticed all my custom rules were deleted. Beware before using it to back up your Firewall settings and rules or you'll regret ever trying it. Overall it's not a very useful application. Sure, it has a compact interface but it has no flexibility at all. You could say it's a free app and that's all it is.
