If you’re not sure which zone you need, temporarily allow the application once, open the logs and check if it contains P2P, normal Web traffic (Port 80,443 ) or other protocols. In this example the Mega application wants to request internet permission/connections in order to allow the Mega Updater program we simply can work with the pre-given Zone in this screen ‘EnableAll’ or we choose another zone. The Popup screen is the screen you might see the most or the one you work the most with. The reason why you want an external Firewall is that it’s easier to work with or if you don’t like the Windows integrated Firewall for whatever reasons. The first installation or an upgrade usually requires you to restart your Windows, so that the Firewall can start it’s background service, speaking about it, the Firewall can also work independent from Windows own Firewall, as explained over here in detail. Windows 10 Firewall Control is closed source software but that’s not a problem in my opinion because I haven’t heard anything negative about the product nor was there a leak which showed that the developer couldn’t be trusted. The original name was Vista Firewall Control and got renamed to Windows 10 Firewall Control in order to avoid some confusion. The program itself is underrated, that’s for sure, it does have a complete documentation together with an F.A.Q. The official forum should answer the rest of the questions. If the previous sibling does not exist anymore, the related Programs list entry is silently removed.When a mutable installer changes its path Windows10FirewallControl detects sibling applications automatically (if the option is checked) and adds (lists) new sibling application with the zone applied to the previous sibling.Settings::Protect Sibling applications automatically allows to partially (or completely) avoid multiple entries in the Programs list, such as (1) (2) etc. Settings::Protect System applications automatically duplicates the same setup option for the runtime management.Programs::Time column reflects last changed time.DNSv6 support (the entire IPv6 does not require any modifications).The single license for the Plus version costs you around 29.95 USD right now which is not really cheap. The little ‘buy’ icon brings you to a page where you can securely buy the product. There is also a Free version available, but it has so less feature that’s not worth to be installed and you better use another product or the Windows own firewall instead and that’s the reason why I review only the Plus version.Īn overview which version has which functions is given here or check the picture above. The program has a trial period, keep this in mind because you need a key (license) in order to use the program. There several versions available, the Plus version and the Cloud version are the versions with the most functions. The latest download links for the final versions are always available under the same URL. So, enough introduction – let’s check it! In this review, we will check if it’s worth to buy it and how if it competes against WFC by Binisoft. Windows 10 Firewall Control is a paid firewall solution by Sphinx Software.
