Description

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

The lightweight application is less than a megabyte, and it is compatible with Windows Vista and higher operating systems. You can download either the installer or portable version. For correct working, need administrator rights.

Hmm, it seems pretty solid, and its not like privacy on win 10can be made worse, and its open source. I've been searching this tool for a while but have not been able to find anything negative. Thoughts @mikaela @jonah

I have no comment to Windows.

blacklight447 commented 5 years ago

I will try and make a pull request to add this to our windows 10 section soon.

^ since @blacklight447-ptio, sounds like you'll create a PR for this, let's leave it open until the PR is closed?

Fine with me.
