My Wish: A full fledged firewall for Windows 10

Forgot to mention that one little item that I use to keep track of what is happening on my system is ' system explorer '.  It provides information in real time, as to what is currently happening on items.  Windows System Manager will also show processes, but does not do it in the same mannerism as system explorer, which I like better.

I had replied back, via email, but it did not register here, so I am copying what I said in the email here.

Interesting. I used to use something called 'Tiny Personal Fire Wall', some time ago. Are they related? I also used 'Zone Alarm' in the past. I will have to take a look at 'Tinywall'. Thanks for the information, as it seems that the product does some of the things that I would like to do.

As for Windows firewall, yes, it is more difficult to get 'under the hood'. In fact, I was looking for the IP/country blocking capability and did not find it. The 'help' section had no listing for such an item. I also wanted to look at the possibility of managing ports.  The 'Microsoft Management Console' was not helpful in this regard either.

As for additional hardware, or a 'VM', I am not that motivated! I have been tempted to dig up a vulnerability scanner and point it at my system, just to see what I might see. I decided not to though, as I figured it might give me a headache, with false positives, and my not having full firewall control. I was going to use a Nmap.
