Windows Firewall Control is a powerful tool which extends the functionality of the Windows Firewall and provides quick access to the most frequent options of the 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 program is donationware.

Changelog

    Improved: The logic of disabling unauthorized rules was changed to update the rule
    description instead of the rule name to avoid repeated rule creation as a result of
    different rule name.
    Fixed: The programs executed from Tools tab can be used for privilege escalation.
    For standard user accounts, these tools will prompt the UAC dialog so that only
    administrators can launch them with full privileges.
    Fixed: Creating new rules for files with empty file description creates new rules
    with an empty starting space. These rules can't be modified from WFwAS.
    Fixed: Icon from profile switch notification is not the correct one.
