Windows Firewall Control is a nifty little application which extends the functionality of the Windows Firewall and provides quick access to the most frequent options of Windows Firewall. It runs in the system tray and allows user to control the native firewall easily without having to waste time by navigating to the specific part of the firewall.
This is the best tool to manage the native firewall from Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Vista. Windows Firewall Control offers four filtering modes which can be switched with just a mouse click:
High Filtering - All outgoing connections are blocked. This setting blocks all attempts to connect to and from your computer.
Medium Filtering - Outgoing connections that do not match a rule are blocked. Only programs you allow can initiate outgoing connections.
Low Filtering - Outgoing connections that do not match a rule are allowed. You can
block the programs you do not want to initiate outgoing connections.
No Filtering - Windows Firewall is turned off. Avoid using this setting unless you have another firewall running on your computer.
Changes in v4.1.4.0
- New: The installer requires elevated privileges only when the installation is actually done. It can be executed with normal user account privileges.
- New: "Secure boot" was added in the Options tab. It saves the current firewall rules at system shut down, sets High Filtering profile and restores the firewall rules at WFC start-up. When this feature is enabled, at system start-up the network connections are blocked until WFC starts too.
- New: Added a new Copy... submenu in the context menu of the Connections Log window.
- Updated: Added new URL providers: ip-adress.com and tcpiputils.com
- Updated: "Disable the ability of other programs to add firewall rules" was renamed to "Secure rules".
- Updated: Recommended block rules are available again. If they are not needed they
can be easily deleted. - Fixed: The color sliders don't not reflect the current color after reopening the Main Panel window. They show always black color in the Options tab even if the color is different.
