Can you suggest a firewall with these features?
I'm looking for an application I haven't used in years. a new software based firewall. ( I need to get an old x368 box and make a real hardware firewall)
In the meantime I need a firewall that stops everything live incoming and outgoing and gives me the option to block the outgoing attempt or allow it and it sets a rule for my option. I need this to work with all hidden and shown Microsoft attempts at outgoing communication whether it be from an EXE DLL or other. If Cortana sneezes and phones Microsoft Home I want the firewall to alert me. If Microsoft attempts to check for updates, I want the app to alert me. I want nothing hidden from this firewall. I know some firewalls will hide the things the Operating System tries to do because they are programmed to ignore these requests as the OS is "Trusted" internally to the system.
I used a app like that years ago but don't know whats out there today. Normally I don't use a firewall or antivirus at all, I use Sandboxy and Rollback RX Home and or Shadow defender to fix any virus problem but like I said, I feel with Microsoft's new Draconian policies, I'll need one. Suggestions?
