Update here -- Binisoft's program has been in development for some time now -- 11 years. The latest version came out in August of this year.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's new in version 6.7.0.0 (22.08.2021)

- New: Global hotkey for toggling between Low and Medium Filtering profiles.
- Improved: Replaced some user actions confirmation dialogs with Windows notifications.
In Windows 10 they will be displayed in the notifications area and on Windows 7 as tray
icon balloon notifications.
- Fixed: The ULRs used for the services from Tools tab were updated to use https
instead of http.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's new in version 6.5.0.0 (20.05.2021)

- New: The notification dialog displays now the count of blocked attempts for each
program that is notified.
- Improved: The keyboard shortcuts to switch between notifications were changed in
notification dialog to Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Right.
- Fixed: Privilege escalation vulnerability was fixed in WFC service.
- Fixed: Some group names are not displayed correctly in Rules Panel.
No indication there's a portable option/version but in terms of an actively developed freeware firewall, you could do a lot worse.
