Windows Firewall Control 6.12.0.0

Windows Firewall Control is a handy application that extends the functionality of Windows Firewall and provides quick access to its most frequently used options.

It runs in the system tray and allows users to easily control the native firewall without wasting time navigating to specific sections of the firewall settings.

It is free to use. Registered users gain access to a learning mode that provides notifications for outgoing blocked connections.

Windows Firewall Control does not filter any packets or block or allow connections directly. It offers four filtering modes that can be switched with a single mouse click:

Low Filtering – Outgoing connections that don’t match a rule are allowed. You can block the programs you do not need to provoke outgoing connections.
Medium Filtering – Outgoing connections that don’t match a rule are blocked. Only programs you allow can provoke outgoing connections.
High Filtering – All outgoing connections are blocked, preventing any attempts to connect to or from your computer.
No Filtering: Windows Firewall is turned off. Avoid using this setting unless another firewall is running on your computer.
