This build (6) is a more usable one — now, the app. forecloses (without any prompt) just after a backup operation is performed (can live with that, FTM.)

TeraCopy 3.3 Beta is better than the 2.46 — you might want to use this license key (it may not work on the 2.46.)

Oh yeah, the Plus Edition of Windows 10 Firewall Control cannot use independent rules for different Users (such as Administrators, Guests, System, Local Service, Network Service, etc., etc.)

 

Also, the Plus Edition of Windows 10 Firewall Control cannot use independent rules for the different service types (such as Dnscache, Dhcp, wuauserv, CryptSvc, etc., etc.)

 

There are some other features lacking in the Plus Edition which are suitable only for SysAdmins.

Textra SMS is now v4.0 build 40097 [Pro]

 

WHAT'S NEW
Important: From November 1, all app updates must be built against Android O (API 26) to ensure apps provide the most modern Android Features to users. For example the Android Permission model that prompts a user when a permission is first used, as opposed to just upon initial install. This v4.0 of Textra is now fully compliant with this new Google requirement.
Android O (API 26) compliance.
Removed Notification Icon Color options (as Android O no longer supports colors).
Bug fixes.

no problem if all rules are not exporting successfully, notepad++ will help me ;)

Thanks

 

Just now i did a quick comparison :read: b/w your and my backup.xml and my guess was right you created a dedicated zone for IDM which is blacklisting all the IPs/domain of idm and allowing some particular ports. Interesting part is data register/update entry :idea:

Why don't you install the Network/Cloud Edition of Windows 10 Firewall Control and import the settings from my Backup.xml (you'll get a good start — ahead of the others) — for now, you may leave your WFC installed and enabled,as well (at least until my tutorial is doneWindows 10 Firewall Control does not conflict with WFC.)

What I meant was that Windows 10 Firewall Control does not (even) export 100% of the Settings.

Some of the hostnames are segregated from the Zones level and blacklisted at Domain Names level — also, the direction of traffic flow is different on Windows 10 Firewall Control. ;)

Windows 10 Firewall Control (W10FC)

(for updates — monitor the very next post, codenamed Changelog)

 

 

 

The Appetizer:

Spoiler

Bad News:—

Spoiler

Windows 10 Firewall Control (W10FC) is one ugly mama of a firewall — you could kiss an ugly frog and it might even turn into a handsome prince but not Windows 10 Firewall Control (W10FC.) pYm6dhy.gif


Good News:—

Spoiler

Windows 10 Firewall Control (W10FC) can be configured in accordance to the maintenance-free whitelist firewall policy — more about this policy, later.

 

ps:—

A whitelist firewall policy ensures that once all the apps. & programs are configured as per ones satisfaction, one would no longer need to see the hideous Windows 10 Firewall Control (W10FC) user interface — the firewall would continue to work silently (with neither any kind of notification / pop-up nor a need for further User intervention.)

 

 


The Edition:

Spoiler

Network/Cloud Edition v/s Plus Edition:—

Spoiler

Most folks opt for the Plus Edition because they are under the impression that the Network/Cloud Edition is meant purely for Enterprise use.

 

Although that's true to a certain extent — the Network/Cloud Edition ships with additional benefits which are pretty useful to non-Enterprise Users, as well.

 

As of typing this post, the version was Windows 10 Firewall Control (W10FC,) Network/Cloud Edition 8.4.0.60 Pre-release.


Caution Note:—

Those who opt to use the Free Edition, would never stop cursing Windows 10 Firewall Control (W10FC) — it lacks many of the great features.

 


The Precaution:

Spoiler

Users of Binisoft Windows Firewall Control (WFC) and/or Microsoft Windows Firewall (MWF) might want to leave their firewall program/s running and enabled during the Windows 10 Firewall Control (W10FC) installation — Windows 10 Firewall Control (W10FC) does not conflict with either of those 2 apps.

However, Users of other third-party firewalls might want to switch-off their internet connection before uninstalling their firewall completely and rebooting their system to install Windows 10 Firewall Control (W10FC.)


The Settings:—
Immediately after installing (and activating) the program, but . . . . . before restarting the system — using the following settings could prevent some headache:—

Spoiler

ZCLnvg1.png

 

 

 

The Whitelist Policy:

Spoiler

After rebooting, if all internet connectivity is discovered to have been lost — it's good news and indicates that the pre-boot settings are indeed working.

 

The primary objective of a whitelist firewall policy is to indeed block all internet connectivity — each and every app. & program.

 

The secondary objective of a whitelist firewall policy is to determine and allow the handful of apps. & programs which would otherwise fail to function without internet connectivity

 

By default, Windows 10 Firewall Control (W10FC) does use a whitelist firewall policy — however, it's my personal preference to switch the Mode from Normal to Expensive/Insecure Connection.

 

One of the ways to switch the Mode from Normal to Expensive/Insecure Connection is illustrated below:—

Spoiler

zRj3sTS.png

 

Whitelisting Selective Apps. & Programs Which Would Otherwise Fail To Function Without Internet Access:—

Spoiler

IXIyNlb.png

 

 

 

The Hardening:

Spoiler

On the Zones menu, one can find some basic rules pre-installed by Windows 10 Firewall Control (W10FC) — it's better to use those rules merely as a template by selecting a rule and then pushing the F2 key-press instead of editing the template directly.

 

This is an opportune time to harden the whitelisted apps. & programs with rules which further restrict their internet access based on selective . . . . . protocol, hostname, IP, port, direction of traffic, etc., etc. — as examples, check out the following hardened rules for ESET Endpoint Antivirus and Firefox:—

ESET Endpoint Antivirus:—


Firefox ESR:—

 

 


The Security:

Spoiler

Password Protection:—

Spoiler

6xK12L5.png

 



The Reminder:

Spoiler

Once Windows 10 Firewall Control (W10FC) is fully configured for all programs & apps., Users of Binisoft Windows Firewall Control (WFC) and/or Microsoft Windows Firewall (MWF) should not forget to uninstall Binisoft Windows Firewall Control (WFC) and disable Microsoft Windows Firewall (MWF) completely.

Users of Microsoft Windows Firewall (MWF) might also want to ensure that all services are disabled and firewall rules deleted.



The Backup & Restore:

Spoiler

To Export Settings:—

Spoiler

x8VtuhS.png

 

To Import Settings:—

Spoiler

t5e77Ru.png

 

Caution Note:—

Spoiler

Windows 10 Firewall Control (W10FC) does not create a 1:1 backup . . . . . meaning — upon restore, certain backed-up settings shall not be restored (this is one of its failings.)

 



The Review:

Spoiler

This little piece was supposed to be a review — however, decided to write a tutorial for the sake of friends.

Shall write the review, next — whenever time permits.
