Is it possible to combine these two with open/tinysnitch somehow? It'd be nice to easily build a whitelist but with the way Windows works I couldn't trust any firewall that was running on Windows itself.

filtering upstream is easy, just send all traffic to a linux wireguard server and run a snitch there. getting the gui prompt is a bit tricker. for maximum trust, that gui should probably be on another device than the original machine. ie a push notification to your phone.
