It is 4,159.79 days ago that there was an update to the page of GRC NetFilter

Yeah, NetFilter is not going to be freeware, but I don't see a page for upcoming GRC payware.
NetFilter is an upcoming internet privacy product by Steve Gibson, one I have been interested in for years. But it seems that Steve has forgotten about it's existence. It would be nice when Steve would finally decide to either develop it or cancel it instead of this announcement that has had no updates since 2013 and promises to work on Windows 95 to Windows XP. Which both have been abandoned by MS a long time ago.

He's not making that, he probably just forgot to remove the page. His next project is SpinRite 7.

His next project is SpinRite 7.

Actually it's not, so far as I am aware. He is planning a couple of "pro" versions of updates to some of his apps. I'll quote a portion of his post about it from his newsgroup.

SQRL's seven year development consumed far more time then I ever
expected. And that was followed by the 3.5 years I spent working
on SpinRite 6.1 -- none of which have been revenue producing for
GRC. I don't yet know to what degree announcing v6.1 to SpinRite
users will serve to revive SpinRite v6.1 today, but we know that
v7.0 with added support for UEFI, USB and NVMe is where we need
to be -- and I remain SO EXCITED about the prospect of rolling
up my sleeves and getting going on that. There's truly nothing
that I want to do more than that...

But...

Any new revenue from SpinRite v7.0 is realistically a long ways
off, and I've just consumed 10.5 years with income solely from
SpinRite 6.0 and the Security Now! podcast keeping GRC afloat.
While GRC has not depended upon revenue from the podcast, it has
allowed me to earn a significant and reliable source of monthly
income that now appears poised to diminish or disappear.

[... a lot of his rationale elided ...]

To that end, my plan is to "quickly" create and launch two new
commercial products before I return to what I most want to do,
which is to create SpinRite 7. I deliberately placed "quickly"
in quotes because we all know how relative the term "quickly"
can be for me. Still, I have two very specific products in mind
that can be created "quickly".

Oh, sorry then, disregard. I was just going off what he'd said on the podcast, but it sounds like some things have changed recently and I don't frequent the forums. I just assumed you were coming in cold (not a podcast listener nor a forum regular) and I happened to be on here looking for something.

In any case, I'm not surprised he hasn't discussed it on the podcast as he doesn't want to stir anything up with Leo. It sounds like TWiT might be going down faster than expected. I not sure that's such a bad thing, actually, but that's a topic for another forum.
