    Well just a quick look says, it is. Overlooking, that even the webpage itself is very basic, it looks, that is being developed by one person, not good/safe.
    If someone wants to try it for a virtual machine, fine, but I would never ever even think about using for a real life PC. Maybe in several years, but unlikely.
    Security software has to be trustworthy, the poster, most likely dev, has already proved, it is not, but above all this says it all: http://www.henrypp.org/about

    It's the most light firewall that I've tried to date(and I've tried a considerable amount)... almost no resources wasted, with very little CPU and RAM usage(~4MB). Very easy to use, I would say easier than TinyWall.

    You may encounter some bugs due to the recent nature of the tool, but the dev is quite active(~2 updates/month). So far the latest release(1.4.6) is stable enough.

    Best of all it's coded in C++, not that .NET crap that TinyWall and other managers are made of.

    Hi co22 .. are you the developer of this app ?
    Looks quite interesting..
    Will do some tests on VM with several different setups and os'es..


    Hey!
    I'm using Windows own firewall with TinyWall as an frontend for it, and there's nothing wrong with it. really smooth,and very very low on resources...
    Dunno what kinda computer you have,I got i7-6700hq laptop, works fine too on my i5 laptops..

    But since this topic is about SimpleWall, let's drop that talk..

    its been honor to be developer of any software :) but no i am not developer of any program!
    if you have question you can go on its github page and make issue or send them email
    and yep it very better than other windows firewall tool
    the only problem its have is with SpyShelter Firewall
    so problem maybe from simplewall or SSF
    so i just use SpyShelter Firewall now

    Is anyone using this firewall?
    Is it working well on Windows 10 Creators Update?
    Can it work alongside Windows Firewall or is it a replacement?
