Does anyone know of a FOSS Firewall for Windows (beehaw.org)

I currently use TinyWall Firewall, it works very well, it's small/portable, no complaints I even donated to the Dev but I would really prefer open source, also it needs to be user friendly like TinyWall so my non-tech family members can/will use it like they do with TinyWall.

Preferences are rarely black and white. I prefer locally grown vegetables, yet those are not the only kind of veggies I buy.

That's not quite the same. It's like ordering a small salad whilst having a Big Mac meal at McDonald's, and claiming that you prefer healthy food.

Surely you see the irony of the situation?

You can have a preference and not do the preferred thing all the time. In the example you gave, someone could generally eat "healthy food" and just have a Big Mac meal once in a while.

Can't say I do tbh. You make it sound like if one prefers healthy foods they can't get a craving for a burger and yet ditch the fries. To me it seems completely normal.
