[Update] Minimal Firewall 2.8.5

Alternative to Windows Firewall Control.

"Minimal Firewall enhances the built-in Windows Firewall to block all unknown network connections by default, giving you complete control. It prompts you for action when an application tries to connect, allowing you to mitigate malware, stop unwanted telemetry, and prevent data leaks. With Minimal Firewall, no application "phones home" without your explicit permission.

Unlike most other Firewall programs, Minimal Firewall acts as a frontend, avoiding enlarging your computer's attack surface by playing around with lower levels of the WFP."

"Portable: Minimal Firewall is a single executable that requires no installation. All rules are native to Windows Firewall, so no custom drivers or services are left behind."

Requires .NET Desktop Runtime 8.0.
Version 1.8 ( https://github.com/deminimis/minimalfirewall/releases/download/v1.8/MinimalFirewall_Portable_v1.8_x64.zip ) is the last version compatible with .NET Framework 4.8.
