Which I use for years, and just because of lack of a better alternative (minimal, OSS) I actually quite "hate" it.:
It has no rules, like "Allow a file with THIS name on THAT path", the biggest complain of every simplewall user is its biggest flaw and annoyance: It asks you a million times to allow or deny the "same" app, after its checksum changed. So all the Windows apps that auto update always pop up again and again.
A coding agent autonomously compiling and testing an exe with network access is impossible. I have to turn off simplewall, because it would constantly block the executable after recompilation.

I'm a simplewall user and what you describing is not my biggest flaw or annoyance - I simply don't upgrade windows (why would calculator need updates??) and after clicking few denies, its get very quiet. Been this way for 2 years now on Win 11.

I'd rather not use a security tool which is 100% vibeslop with a 100% vibeslop website.

I've been working on my own version of this for a little over a year. Sigh.

I'm not that special. Apologize for the LLM cruft, I had Fable spin through to try and clean it up. If it's broken, oh well.
I beg you. At the very least, please, write your own headers. I don't even need you to write the whole copy on the page, but please, don't make us read that claudease slop. This makes the app you advertise look like the lowest of efforts, no matter what it is.

Or better yet, make the aite itself open-source so people can contribute better writing.
Portmaster has been filling this role for me for the last couple years.
Edit: and glasswire although portmaster is my favorite
