The greatest weakness of WFC is whenever you disable Windows own DNS mechanism or event logging the GUI stops working because the service is depending on those two things which means external DNS software might not get filtered properly after you disabled Windows own DNS mechanism, this is still unsolved and the developer answered me already that there is no way to fix this.Īnother issue is whenever a new file spawns in a temporarily dir (Temp dir) and request Internet access you have to manually re-approach this. – Updated: The user manual was updated with new topics.Īfter reading it I could’t identify why in the bloody world we need to uninstall the old version first but maybe I’m getting old and stupid. – Updated: The URL services from the Tools tab were updated. – Updated: The WFC recommended rules contain now some inbound rules required forĪccessing the computers from the local network. – Improved: Various user interface improvements. – Improved: When choosing a custom notification sound for the notifications, theĭialog will now open by default in ‘C:\Windows\Media’ folder. Multiple times instead of focusing the already running instance of it. – Fixed: If the uninstaller is launched multiple times, the dialog is displayed – New: A new global hot key can be defined in Options tab to toggle Secure Rules state. – New: A dialog is displayed to the user if the uninstall is launched while the WhenĮnabled, importing firewall rules and changing the filtering mode of Windows Firewall – New: A new feature called ‘Secure Profile’ was added in the Security tab. Prohibit adding, modifying or removing firewall rules from outside of WFC. – New: ‘Secure Rules’ was rewritten from scratch. The latest changelog can be found here, as always. I’m not sure if that was for purpose (I think so) or a bug but from the changelog of the new version I could’t identify why it’s necessary to do this. You might see this little error when you try to upgrade your ‘old’ WFC version with the latest one:Īfter you used these option because you are forced to uninstall the old version (5.0.2.0) you see that the activation status is gone. Latest version 5.1.0.0 resets your activation The new Windows Firewall Control ( WFC) from Binisoft version is out, I often recommend this little GUI for the Windows integrated Firewall because it does a good job and is very easy to understand especially for beginners.
