TinyWall v3.2.5 for Windows 7

[Monroe]

When I set up my Win 7 notebook two years ago I had wanted to use TinyWall as a firewall ... it was listed as a simple firewall that worked. However, it was listed for only Windows 11 / 10 so I went with an older version of ZoneAlarm that worked with Win 7. It works good as just a firewall, no complaints.

Just two days ago I discovered that there was an older TinyWall version that did work with Win 7.

TinyWall is a lightweight, user-friendly, and secure firewall for Windows. It is also completely free.

Under FAQ:

The latest version of TinyWall runs on Intel- or AMD-based Windows 11 / 10.
An older version, TinyWall 3.2.5, also supports Windows 8.1 / 8 / 7.

Just asking if anyone is using TinyWall 3.2.5 on their Win 7 setup and if you have any comments, good or bad?

Thanks ...

I have been running that version for years without problems on both Windows server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 x64. It is much more strict for my taste than Windows default firewall. I like firewall that blocks all by default and only permits if i allow it. That is why I like it over Windows one. Maybe I have worked too long on enterprise environments when think that way...

Thanks for the input. I'm going to give it a try. I liked what I read about it with respect to Windows 10 / 11. I didn't want to really use ZoneAlarm but that's how it worked out. It will probably be hard trying to get ZA off my computer with everything that it installs.

Also thanks to NullEntity for the 'thumbs up' comment.
