Windows 10 Firewall Control 7.1

You can define some default settings for “new” applications (such as enabling or disabling all zones), change the rules for your LAN connections, define your own log files, add a password to the program’s control panel, etc. As a bonus – and a very useful one – Windows 10 Firewall Control can connect to your router to open or close selected ports. This Port Forwarding feature will not only save you time, but will also allow you to enable specific ports for specific applications only.

This is a professional utility that shouldn’t be taken lightly by any potential user. Mastering all its possibilities will require a learning curve that can be made steeper with the help of the program’s comprehensive manual. Monitoring and controlling all your incoming and outgoing traffic is as useful as it is sensitive, and while it will help you protect your PC from malware programs, unwanted incoming connections, and other threats, it may also block some of your network activities unconsciously.

If only for the possibility of adding security settings to each application individually, for that fact that you can manage different network permissions for different security zones or areas, or for the ability to control the network activity of both local and remote apps, Windows 10 Firewall Control is worth trying. As it name implies, this program has been designed to work seamlessly in all Windows platforms, including the new Windows 10 environment. You will surely be surprised by the endless possibilities that this high level of flexibility provides, allowing you to adjust the network activity of each of your programs to your real needs.
