   [Update] Windows Firewall Control 6.15.0   
   10 May 25 09:14:12   
   
   From: allanh@vivaldi.net   
      
   Thanks to VanguardLH for suggesting this program to me in October in our   
   discussion of Tor Browser.   
      
   "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 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 11,   
   10, 8.1, 8, 7, Server 2025, 2022, 2019, 2016, 2012. 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   
   you have another firewall running on your computer.   
      
   Windows Firewall Control doesn't do any packet filtering and does not block or   
   allow any connection. This is done by Windows Firewall itself based on the   
   existing firewall rules."
