Software firewall

do you use software firewalls? i want to set up one to block Microsoft/other software from phoning home but i dont know much about networking (just know how to use basic functions of wireshark, IPs and shit)
is there some kind of guides on internet about this? and how do i pick a good one? (i dont want to pick one that is placebo under the hood)

ESET internet Security
Set the firewall to ask for your permission, it will randomly ask to allow connections to mibrodick adresses a trillion times, you just select create the rule and remember, or something like that, and thats all.
Also install "spybot anti beacon" to block telemetry

Are you trying to set it up for your entire network or just one computer?

>it will randomly ask to allow connections to mibrodick adresses a trillion times
does that mean they just keep reconnecting when it is blocked? does that decrease battery life?
>Also install "spybot anti beacon" to block telemetry
will look it up, does it do the same as windows privacy dashboard or more?
just mine

>can get free serials for once and forget about it
>have to get free serials every few months instead

Where then?

literally the first result in google search

tinywall is crap, try uninstall it, you will results in lack of connection

Used it for literally years on windows.

It runs as a service so I'm guessing "uninstall" to you means deleting the folder...

Try using
nirsoft.net/utils/uninstall_view.html
next time.

>tfw I write muh own iptables tables...

simplewall uses windows own block list, it just gives it a nice UI. The problem with it is that it constantly crashes and once it was eating 25% of CPU for no reason.
