• DHCP is not blocked by ufw/iptables

  All mentioned items have side-channel borked firewall and route rules in the past.

• Life After Shorewall: Replacement Options?

  I've been using Shorewall for the last decade or so on everything from custom OpenWRT firewall/gateway solutions to servers running Debian or Ubuntu.

• Mac shipments grow 10%, as all major PC brands see downturns

  Remove 11 and install Windows 10 ITSC IOT edition until the equivalent for 11 drops. Make Windows shut up for good with Tinywall (https://tinywall.pados.hu/) and whitelist applications as needed. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Comodo firewall and Windows Internet not working: Can't re/un-install

  Microsoft Defender is far better as an antivirus, and there are much better 3rd-party firewall options, even though Windows Firewall works just fine. TinyWall is a very low resource whitelist-only front end for Windows Firewall; Portmaster is a comprehensive network firewall. Source: 12 months ago

• Anyone tried doing default outbound deny on firewall?

  TinyWall is a whitelist only front-end for the Windows firewall. Source: about 1 year ago
