It's so good to know that even on a totally new platform I can start building up a list of saved posts I'm "totally gonna get back to later" like nothing even happened.
One of the biggest things I miss about Apollo was the ability to group and order my saved posts, and then search for them. I can’t wait for Wefwef (or perhaps another app…) to bring back that functionality here.
Haha, I've simply made my peace with the trek of a scroll. That said, I am actually pretty good about totally getting around to posts, so my list does occasionally shrink.
Safing Portmaster is similar for Windows and Linux, also FOSS
Using it for a while. Love it. Do you know how they compared?
I don't, Safing was the first I heard that does anything like that and only one i've used
Me too actually. I love that it creates profiles based on programs automatically and use the global settings (filter lists included) by default.
Portmaster ui is still clunky doesn't show blocked apps separately. No easy way to restart it's notifier.
No way to allow all or block all in notifications
doesn't show blocked apps separately.
Never felt the need, they're (almost) all blocked lol
No easy way to restart it's notifier.
True that, luckily I rarely ever turn it off. My VPN works perfectly with it on, my dnscrypt works with it, so no reason to turn it off basically.
No way to allow all or block all in notifications
I'm not sure it's even possible due to the nature of windows notifications. I guess it'll need to bump a new notification for each notification of "allow all for ", but the can't control the older notification and clear it so it'll become a mess very quickly.
For example Block permanently, block all, allow for next 60 min ( example installer) all were there in malware bytes firewall.
I switched from simplewall to portmaster and I actually like it more. It gives me more control over my system
LittleSnitch if you're on MacOS, though I gather Apple has been caught overriding users' rules to phone home, so you may want to combine it with other measures such as a DNS manager.
You have any articles about apple's behaviour? tia.
I use netlimiter 4 for that. the newer version 5 only has a monthly subscription but when asking nicly per mail they still sell the lifetime license for version 4
I used that earlier but my potato PC couldn't handle that software so I had to move on.
Should I disable windows firewall if I use this? It wasn't clear from their docs whether I should.

Q: Is it safe to use simplewall with Windows Firewall?
A: Yes. You do not need to disable Windows Firewall. These two firewalls work independently.
