Nope, it's quite different from Little Snitch.

They're nice-looking, but don't have anything that even remotely resembles rules. All it can do is deny or allow all traffic, on per-application basis. If you want your email client to talk to only your email server but not anywhere else (as a security precaution) you'll have to use built-in Windows firewall facilities to set up such a rule.

Rule management is coming in v2.0 - or so they say - but it's not yet here.

Outpost Firewall used to be a powerful interactive firewall for Windows, but it's dead those days.


Glasswire is fantastic but the most useful features cost $50, FYI


Is this similar? I installed it long ago and when looking at it, it didn't seem useful, but perhaps I am completely wrong?
