Has anyone tried Free Firewall in combination with Avast Free ?

You'll find some information on the Wilders Forum http://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/free-firewall-evorim.385439/

Sorry but I'm quite happy with the firewall in Windows 10.
They may say it runs with your current Firewall but, like my AV two isn't better.
Basically, it gives you a panic button.
I already have that, I turn off my Wifi or my router. :)

I suppose it's no different to when the Avast Firewall was also compatible to run alongside with the Windows Firewall, I never saw the point of running two together then either :)

The Evorim firewall looks like it'll be a good third party free option but imo it needs to grow a little more yet.

You already have a free firewall built into Windows. :)

That is true but as you know third party firewalls are much easier to configure for outbound which Windows doesn't do by default and is a right pita to setup.

All depends on what your comfortable with.
