    Totally forgot about this tool. It still looks interesting, perhaps I might give it a try on Win 11. However, I still think it looks a bit overwhelming. And I also didn't know they were bought by IVPN, are these guys trustworthy?

    No, but seems like it has been improved a lot, I might give it a try when I buy a new Win 11 machine. I would use it mainly for the firewall, but it also has adblocking capabilities. What's your opinion about it?

    Don't really have much of a one that's why I was asking around about it.

    OK I see, I thought you were testing it. At the moment I'm still happy with my SpyShelter 12 + TinyWall combo on Win 10, but SpyShelter 15 is missing a couple of features (no network monitor), so who knows, perhaps I will switch to Portmaster.

    Anyone else with Postmaster comments? I am very happy with Malwarebytes Windows Firewall Control, but sometimes new stuff is fun to play with.
