Windows Firewall Control is a small tool which helps you managing Windows Firewall easily, it extends the functionality of the Windows Firewall and provides quick access to the most frequent options of Windows Firewall. It runs in the system tray and allows user to control the native firewall easily without having to waste time by navigating to the specific part of the firewall. This is the best tool to manage the native firewall from Windows 8.1, 8, 7, Vista and Server 2008. Windows Firewall Control offers four filtering modes which can be switched with just a mouse click:
High Filtering – All outbound and inbound connections are blocked. This setting blocks all attempts to connect to and from your computer.
Medium Filtering – Outbound connections that do not match a rule are blocked. Only the programs that you allow can initiate outbound connections.
Low Filtering – Outbound connections that do not match a rule are allowed. The user can block the programs he doesn’t want to initiate outbound connections.
No Filtering – Windows Firewall is turned off. Avoid using this setting unless you have another firewall running on your computer.

What’s new in version 4.0.6.2 (18.01.2014)
- New: Added the possibility to set the “Interface types” for a rule, which
specifies for which network interfaces the rule applies. The new field is
available in the Manage Rules columns. If the column does not appear, it is probably
hidden. Just set the visibility for it from the header context menu.
- Fixed: Loopback notifications for svchost.exe and System are displayed when High
notification level is used but there is no network connection.
- Fixed: When all Columns are displayed in the Manage Rules window, the order and
size for the last column is not restored when the user opens again this view.
- Improved: The Manage Rules window is launched also when the user clicks on the
Rules Panel menu item instead of only from the Manage Rules menu item.
