Hello! I stumbled on a post a while back about privacy tools. I can't seem to find it again. I had bookmarked a few sites it linked to and finally got around to looking at them

One of those websites was Safing. I hadn't heard of it before. The website says that it's a firewall tool, but I can't seem to figure out why it's better than the Windows default firewall. Does anyone here use it? What does it provide that Windows doesn't have built in? Is there an avantage to using it if I have a PiHole on my network/use a VPN? Is it meant to be a single-machine firewall or a whole-network firewall?

That's a cool project. I hadn't heard of it. Thanks for pointing it out.

I should mention portmaster is open source and free to use as well.
