Simplewall is a lightweight, open-source Windows application for configuring network activity via the Windows Filtering Platform (WFP). It provides a simple interface for creating firewall rules, blocking telemetry, and monitoring dropped packets.

Use cases

• block windows telemetry and spy traffic
• control which apps can access the network
• create custom firewall rules on windows
• log dropped packets
• replace windows firewall ui with a simpler tool

When to choose

• you want a lightweight, portable firewall manager for windows
• you need to block windows spy/telemetry endpoints
• you want per-application network control without popups
• you need wsl or windows store app network filtering

When to avoid

• you need a firewall for linux or macos
• you want a ui over the built-in windows firewall (simplewall uses WFP directly)
• you need enterprise centralized firewall management
• you are a beginner uncomfortable with advanced network rules
