Windows Firewall Control 4.8.0.0

Published June 21, 2016 by Download Software

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.

Features:

  • Just one small executable file. All features are packed in the same file.
  • Full support for executing tasks from standard user accounts.
  • Intuitive and easy accessible interface in the system tray.
  • Allow or block a program to connect to the internet with just one mouse click.
  • Shell integration into the right click context menu of the executable files.
  • Quick access to edit Windows Firewall rules directly from the program interface.
  • Choose if you want the program to start at user logon.
  • Import and export the policy of the program.
  • Protection to unauthorized uninstallation.
  • Possibility to restore previous settings at uninstallation.
  • Check for a new version from the program interface.
  • And many more… Just give it a try.

System Requirements:

  • Operating System: Windows All Version
  • Language: English-US
  • License: Shareware
  • Author: BiniSoft.org

Changelog:

  • Updated: If the Rules Panel is open and a new rule is created as a result of using the Low notification level, then the data grid is automatically refreshed to see the newly created rule.
  • Updated: The automatic refresh in Connections Log which is done when a combo box value is changed was removed. From now on, the refresh must be triggered manually.
  • Fixed: If Connections Log window is closed while performing a long running task, the service does not abort the loading. This requires additional resources while the window was already closed and there is no need for further processing.
  • Fixed: Connections Log window remains open if the service is stopped and the window was open.
  • Fixed: Notification dialog freezes in some scenarios if a program that is being blocked tries to reconnect hundreds of times per second but on different ports.
  • Fixed: After switching to editing mode in notification dialog, the ports and remote IP are updated automatically if the program retries to reconnect.
  • Fixed: Importing a full policy that was exported while High Filtering was enabled blocks WFC in High Filtering profile. Changing the profile does not help as the High Filtering profile is automatically switched back in a few seconds.
  • Fixed: Importing a full policy always switches the WFC profile to Low Filtering. The profile is now unchanged after importing a full policy file.
  • Fixed: The rule name can contain leading or trailing white spaces when created from WFC, while from WFwAS this is not allowed.
