Windows 10 Firewall Control

Windows Firewall Control is a program that improves the manageability of the native Windows firewall. It offers easy access to advanced settings and lets you customize the firewall rules to match your needs.

The firewall is a vital part of your computer's security. However, it can be a difficult tool to use if you are not a network administrator.

In order to control how the firewall operates, you need to know which programs are attempting to connect to your computer. This information is essential for determining whether to allow or deny those requests.

You can adjust how the firewall blocks connections using four filtering profiles: High Filtering, Medium Filtering, Low Filtering and No Filtering. The profiles vary based on the type of connection you are trying to protect your device against.

High and Medium Filtering are the most restrictive profiles; they block all attempts to connect to your computer. The other two profiles allow some outbound and inbound connections.

When you are in a public or private network, you can choose which profile to use based on your network's status. You can also configure the firewall to automatically select the correct profile if you are connecting to a network that has been designated as a private or public network by a local administrator.

This feature is especially important for preventing hackers from exploiting holes in the firewall.

It also provides a more detailed information on what programs are connected to your network. This allows you to see what is happening on your computer and make decisions about which applications are safe to download and use.
