Simplewall Has Been Discontinued

Creators &#x2F; maintainers owe us nothing, but I am always slightly bummed when I don&#x27;t see a reason for the discontinuation.<p>Can speculate all day of course, and any reason is a good one. Again, I know they don&#x27;t owe us anything, even an explanation, but curiosity always gets the best of me.

FOSS alternative is Fort <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tnodir&#x2F;fort">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tnodir&#x2F;fort</a><p>But unfortunately you have to disable core isolation for the time being <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tnodir&#x2F;fort&#x2F;discussions&#x2F;108">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tnodir&#x2F;fort&#x2F;discussions&#x2F;108</a>

Been a simplewall user for 6 years.. Now I&#x27;ve been using FortFirewall as a replacement. It&#x27;s simple, runs with a system driver and is frequently updated.

Windows Filtering Platform (what Simplewall is based on) is simultaneously one of the most powerful network access management APIs that exist, and also the most frustrating to use. The way it works in practice doesn&#x27;t always match the documentation.

Love this litle app. Author did this once before. I hope he changes his mind.<p>I would hate to need to look for a replacement.

What is wrong with the Standard Windows Firewall? It is quite powerful.

I recommend <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;pylorak&#x2F;TinyWall">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;pylorak&#x2F;TinyWall</a> as a simpler firewall management alternative.

What&#x27;s the simplest&#x2F;best tool to just nix all the Windows&#x2F;MS telemetry crap?<p>I&#x27;m already running Tiny11 + Win11Debloat, which removes some of it.

Is the archiving of its repo the only &quot;proof&quot; of it being discontinued?
