I had no idea this existed and I’m glad it’s been shared here. I’ve been using Windows Firewall Control [0] and for most things it’s been decent, but it can’t seem to create usable rules for some store apps (Age of Empires IV in particular), and I’d prefer something open source and actively maintained. Definitively going to give this a try.

interesting. will definitely check this out.

and for TFA, that's also nice. and i think, if it works on debian, it could be made work on vast majority of other distros.

Glasswire[0] is good too, albeit it's commercial/paid software. It has a good Android app and allows me to block malicious/privacy-invasive outbound connections from various apps.

There's also Portmaster[0], which is open-source and supports both Windows and Linux.

Looks really neat! Thanks for posting it

The founders seem to have sold Glasswire / SecureMix to some Italian firm: https://archive.is/tQLfK
