– New: A new feature called ‘Secure Profile’ was added in the Security tab. Prohibit adding, modifying or removing firewall rules from outside of WFC. – New: ‘Secure Rules’ was rewritten from scratch. The latest changelog can be found here, as always. I’m not sure if that was for purpose (I think so) or a bug but from the changelog of the new version I could’t identify why it’s necessary to do this. You might see this little error when you try to upgrade your ‘old’ WFC version with the latest one:Īfter you used these option because you are forced to uninstall the old version (5.0.2.0) you see that the activation status is gone. Latest version 5.1.0.0 resets your activation NET Framework version 4.5 or newer version is required.The new Windows Firewall Control ( WFC) from Binisoft version is out, I often recommend this little GUI for the Windows integrated Firewall because it does a good job and is very easy to understand especially for beginners. Avoid using this setting unless you have another firewall running on your computer. No Filtering – Windows Firewall is turned off.The user can block the programs he doesn’t want to allow initiating outbound connections. Low Filtering – Outbound connections that do not match a rule are allowed.Only the programs that you allow can initiate outbound connections. Medium Filtering – Outbound connections that do not match a rule are blocked.
This profile blocks all attempts to connect to and from your computer. High Filtering – All outbound and inbound connections are blocked.This is done by Windows Firewall itself based on the existing firewall rules): Windows Firewall Control offers four filtering modes which can be switched with just a mouse click (WFC doesn’t do any packet filtering and does not block or allow any connection. It runs in the system tray and allows you to control the native firewall easily without having to waste time by navigating to the specific part of the firewall. P>Windows Firewall Control is a powerful and lightweight front-end to the built-in Windows Firewall, which extends its functionality to make it even better.
