Windows Firewall Control 4.1.0.0

Recommended Posts

Microsoft Windows have already built-in default, free and powerful firewalls, but unfortunately, they lack a simple interface to define own simple rules and can be difficult sometimes to configure them the right way. Windows Firewall Control is a nifty little application which extends the functionality of the Windows Firewall and provides quick access to the most frequent options of 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. Windows Firewall Control offers four filtering modes which can be switched with just a mouse click. WFC is free to use, registered users will get the advantage of learning mode which provides notifications for outgoing blocked connections.

Thanks to sternog for the update.

I hate it when this app keeps littering the Security Pane of Windows Event Log with every single firewall transaction

whether it is accepted or blocked.

I end up with a huge security log every day (10 Thousand new entries)...

You can disable this action by making a batch file with the ff: contents

echo off

cls

echo Disabling WFC Firewall LOG

auditpol /set /subcategory:"Filtering Platform Packet Drop" /success:disable /failure:disable
auditpol /set /subcategory:"Filtering Platform Connection" /success:disable /failure:disable

Of course everytime you install a new update, the app resets this action and you have to run the batch file again.

I wish the software author should make an option to disable posting EVENT LOG.

@echo off

FOR /F "tokens=1,2*" %%V IN ('bcdedit') DO SET adminTest=%%V
IF (%adminTest%)==(Access) goto noAdmin
for /F "tokens=*" %%G in ('wevtutil.exe el') DO (call :do_clear "%%G")
echo.
echo goto theEnd
wevtutil.exe cl System
