Designed for experienced network administrators, the Windows Firewall Control expands the default functionality of the Windows Firewall, providing advanced filtering capabilities and additional control options.
Managing firewall rules for individual applications, monitoring the firewall state and enforcing additional security requirements are among the tasks that you can carry out with Windows Firewall Control.
Build your security profile and select filtering options
Running in the system tray area, Windows Firewall Control sits quietly waiting for inbound connections to the local machine, while also monitoring outbound connections.
Security goals can guide you in choosing the desired filtering level for the Windows Firewall. Security profiles range from high filtering, when all the outbound and inbound connections are automatically blocked to no filtering, when the Windows Firewall is practically turned off.
Have firewall rules in your control
Managing rules with Windows Firewall Control goes beyond setting the filtering level. It is possible to set custom rules for individual applications and delete, disable or even create and duplicate new rules. The rule manager reveals names, groups, locations and paths, remote addresses, protocols, and services. The list of rules allows filtering and searching, which can help in finding invalid and duplicate entries.
Additional settings allow you to choose the default direction for creating new rules (outbound, inbound or both) or import, export and restore lists of firewall rules from files.
Windows Firewall Control also features extra security enhancements that you can apply with a click. Secure booting automatically enforces high filtering at shut down, while the ‘Secure Profile’ prevents tampering with Windows Firewall from outside the app.
Customize Firewall rules per every program to get more control
Windows Firewall Control is meant to provide more control over the Windows Firewall and succeeds its each mission to do so. Designed for experienced users, Windows Firewall Control makes it possible to set up rules for each application, which is one of its utmost features.
