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. This is the best tool to manage the native firewall from Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Vista. Windows Firewall Control offers four filtering modes which can be switched with just a mouse click:

High Filtering

All outgoing connections are blocked. This setting blocks all attempts to connect to and from your computer.

Medium Filtering

Outgoing connections that do not match a rule are blocked. Only programs you allow can initiate outgoing connections.

Low Filtering

Outgoing connections that do not match a rule are allowed. You can block the programs you do not want to initiate outgoing connections.

No Filtering

Windows Firewall is turned off. Avoid using this setting unless you have another firewall running on your computer.
