YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

Safing Portmaster is similar for Windows and Linux, also FOSS
Using it for a while. Love it. Do you know how they compared?
I don't, Safing was the first I heard that does anything like that and only one i've used
Me too actually. I love that it creates profiles based on programs automatically and use the global settings (filter lists included) by default.
Portmaster ui is still clunky doesn't show blocked apps separately. No easy way to restart it's notifier.
No way to allow all or block all in notifications
Never felt the need, they're (almost) all blocked lol
True that, luckily I rarely ever turn it off. My VPN works perfectly with it on, my dnscrypt works with it, so no reason to turn it off basically.
I'm not sure it's even possible due to the nature of windows notifications. I guess it'll need to bump a new notification for each notification of "allow all for ", but the can't control the older notification and clear it so it'll become a mess very quickly.
For example Block permanently, block all, allow for next 60 min ( example installer) all were there in malware bytes firewall.
I switched from simplewall to portmaster and I actually like it more. It gives me more control over my system
