Software Firewall for Windows?

Questions

I appreciate your replies!

Only installing the bare minimum apps seems like a good way to keep a Windows PC secure from sending telemetry to a malicious person online. However, having a top notch firewall would make me feel much safer…

Using something that hasn’t been updated in 2 years is probably a bad idea…

These are the best options I’ve been able to find:

Portmaster from https://safing.io/

My appreciation for IVPN pushed me to give Portmaster another try yesterday. Now that I’ve learned the ropes, the UI actually feels okay. It is a huge shift from Simplewall, but I think I’ll stick with it for now.

Do you need to pay for it to be any good? Or is that only for SPN?

No. I just use it with a VPN.
