It is recommended to stop Windows Firewall if this program is going to be running, SimpleWall does come with an option to disable it automatically.
Once the filtering has been enabled, no application in the blocked list can access the internet. If any such application tries connecting to the internet, you will be notified with a small notification just above the system tray. The notification itself will give you a lot of information and provide buttons for relevant actions. You can allow an application from the notification or continue to block it. Or you may create an outbound rule for an IP address or port. And lastly, you can completely disable notifications for an app.
The application also comes with a purge option. Where you can set a purge timer and all the unused and invalid applications will be removed from SimpleWall after a given duration of time.
