Windows Firewall Control 4.9.7.0


Windows Firewall Control is a tool that provides fast access to the Windows Firewall settings and enhances functionality by letting you manage networking rules for each application. It mainly caters to experienced users, such as network administrators.

Quick access from the tray icon

Once initialized, the app creates an icon in the system tray area and allows you to select the security profile, ranging from no filtering (turns off Windows Firewall) to high filtering mode (blocks all inbound and outbound connections).
Thorough management of application connections

When it comes to rules management, you can allow or deny access to any application, disable, delete it from the list or create a duplicate. The list shows names, groups, programs, locations, statuses, actions, directions, locate and remote ports, remote addresses, protocols, and services.
Populate permission lists with custom apps

It is possible to sort items by status or direction (inbound, outbound, all, user-created), use a search function, view recently blocked programs, as well as switch to a simplified viewing mode for enabling and disabling program access, as well as for adding a new app to the list.
Rich settings to work with

Windows Firewall Control features a control panel where you can make additional tweaks. You can integrate the tool into the Explorer context menu, set it to autorun at startup, disable other programs from adding firewall rules, activate global hotkeys for the control panel and rules management area, adjust the frame's hue, import and export rules, as well as access some Windows tools (Firewall with Advanced Security, Command Prompt, Event Viewer, Resource Monitor, Windows Registry).
To end with

All in all, the application has a fair reaction speed and works smoothly, without causing any problems to the OS. It quickly applies rule changes. Windows Firewall Control is an excellent utility for a better control over Windows Firewall options, especially when it comes to setting up rules for each program.

What's new in version 4.9.7.0 (22.04.2017)

- Important: Starting with this version, WFC is targeted to use .NET Framework 4.6
instead of .NET Framework 4.5 which is outdated.
- Important: Removed support for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.
- New: Added "-nogpu" parameter to wfc.exe. This will turn off GPU hardware
acceleration when rendering WFC. Use this when connecting remotely to a machine
where hardware acceleration is not available.
- New: Added the Action column in Connections Log so that the entries copied to
clipboard will contain also the action among the other properties.
- New: When the WFC tray application can't connect to WFC service and the exclamation
mark icon is displayed in the system tray, left click on the WFC icon will open the
user manual to the Troubleshooting section. Also, a 'User manual' entry is available
in the right click context menu.
- Updated: The troubleshooting section of the user manual was updated.
