Can't trust Windows Firewall, Can I use with Comodo?

In general, you should not run two software firewalls on the same computer. The issues are similar to running two real-time anti-virus programs on the same computer.

And you should be asking Microsoft, not GlassWire, about what you can do with Windows Firewall.

I wrote most of this before I saw @Ken_GlassWire’s very diplomatic :innocent: reply.

Your whole issue arises because you “Can’t trust Windows Firewall” for two reasons: it is a Microsoft application that is closed source. I don’t agree with your assessment of the risks because you don’t really look at Windows Firewall itself:

  • Windows Firewall is used on more client systems than any other firewall so issues are quickly found.
  • Windows Firewall is the most scrutinized application firewall you can get.
  • It has proved to be highly reliable.
  • Other firewall developers have discontinued their own firewall programs and now use Windows Firewall instead.
  • Many third-part developers of security software piggy-back on Windows Firewall just as GlassWire does.
