Windows Firewall Control - Managing Windows Firewall is now easier than ever
Program Overview
Windows Firewall Control is a powerful tool which extends the functionality of
Windows Firewall and provides new extra features which makes Windows Firewall
better. It runs in the system tray and allows the user to control the native

of the firewall. This is the best tool to manage the native firewall from

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 profile
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 allow initiating outbound connections.
No Filtering - Windows Firewall is turned off. Avoid using this setting unless
