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.

... this does not compute. If you actually truly prefer open source, why are you using Windows?

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?

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.
