Windows Firewall Control enhances firewall capabilities and provides instant access to frequently used Windows Firewall features. This essential tool allows you to implement advanced security settings, making it the definitive Windows Firewall management tool for power users.
Windows Firewall Control conveniently runs in the system tray, providing users with a simple and intuitive way to control the native firewall without having to navigate complex menus and settings. This is a core benefit of using this essential Windows Firewall management tool.
Windows Firewall Control is entirely free to use. Furthermore, registered users receive an exclusive learning mode that provides useful notifications for outgoing blocked connections, further empowering them with fine-grained control over their security as they use this powerful Windows Firewall management tool.
It is important to note that Windows Firewall Control does not filter network packets or manage connections—it only extends firewall functionality. Instead, it serves as a powerful front-end for the native Windows Firewall, offering four filtering modes that can be instantly switched with just a single mouse click, further enhancing the usability of this vital Windows Firewall management tool.
Low Filtering – Outgoing connections that don’t match a rule are allowed. You can block the programs you do not need to prevent 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.
