Simplewall: how? run simplewall with highest boot priority before PC connects to internet?
How do I make it so simplewall has the ultimate, highest boot priority? i have a few other programs, like ShareX and even Mailbird that launch and run before simplewall is even loaded.
How do I make it so simplewall launches when Windows Defender launches (or even before)?

@henrypp shouldn't _boot-time filters_ be enabled by default?

No. All installed filters are working _even if simplewall terminated_.
Enable boot-time filters is added for another purposes.

Does that mean all software and applications that are launched and run before SimpleWall is loaded are able to connect to the internet?
What is the purpose of boot-time filters?

@grand-lotus-iroh, No, connections processed by Base Filtering Engine (BFE) and it's started before logon UI shows. If you can block all connections before BFE starts, use "Enable boot-time filters" (experts feature).

Do the rules and filters persist even when SimpleWall is uninstalled?
