Recommend a firewall for windows
Recommend a firewall for windows
I'm used to using the TrackerControl app on my phone. This application is convenient and multifunctional.
Is there something similar for windows?

Windows comes with quite the advanced firewall built in. Why not use that?
-
Does a lot more than TrackerControl as it's a full firewall. TrackerControl is just DNS blocking.
-
A firewall blocks in and outbound ports. Windows Advanced Firewall already does this.
If you want more fine-grained control, look to your router. I use a Netgate pfSense rackmount appliance. You can do the same with an OpenSense or pfSense router running on a toaster.
Be glad to help if you have questions!

Tell me, through which program can I install programs with the iso extension?
PfSense has an iso extension. I tried the WindowsCE utility, but only achieved that the files contained in the iso are unpacked as a regular archive.

You could set up a pi-hole on your router to get a similar effect to tracker control on all devices connected to the internet through the router.

Pi-hole is great but is for dns and is easy to avoid if client change default dns. Simplewall is better for granularity in windows.
