I asked if it was hostile and asking is done because I don't know. I'm sorry that my wording upset you.

Windows firewall does not appear to have similar features. A vscode extension connecting to a host I run is okay, connecting to a random domain is not okay and I don't see anything at all in windows firewall to notify me about individual connections. Please advise me on where this functionality is if I'm just missing it.

And there's a lot about little snitch that I actively dislike, but its features are extremely useful. I'd love to have those on windows as well.

As others have linked me similar software, I will explore those.

Windows Firewall can allow or block domains.

It doesn't have "allow but notify," if that's what you're looking for.

Thanks, I'll look more into this.

With little snitch, I use "notify and I select allow or deny". And it works for ip addresses (4 and 6) as well as domains. It's a powerful system, but if I can get similar with domain allowlisting, that would be a worthwhile improvement.

I've never used little snitch but I'm betting Simplewall is what you probably want on Windows.
