» BiniSoft Windows Firewall Control

Можно взять какое-либо системное правило, скопировать его и отредактировать копию под себя. Так проще разобраться с заполнением верхних полей правила.

Changes in 4.6.1.0:
- New: New Security tab was added in the Main Panel which contains the Secure Boot and the new improved Secure Rules feature which automatically removes the rules that are added to a different Group than the defined list of authorized group names. This adds the possibility to the operating system to add required rules without being deleted anymore by WFC because Secure Rules was enabled. Also, unwanted firewall rules that may have been added before the start of WFC service can be detected this way.
- Updated: The internal logging mechanism was simplified and updated to offer more information about the events that are logged.
- Updated: A new rule created from the notification dialog without customizing it, is created for Any protocol. From now on it will be created for the protocol that appears in the notification. This change applies also for the rules created automatically for digitally signed programs when Low notification level is used.
- Fixed: The search from Connections Log works very slow compared to the search from Manage Rules.

4.0.9.0

- Fixed: If all advanced notifications settings are unchecked the notifications are not displayed anymore.
- Fixed: Context menu from Manage Rules window is missing if no rule is selected.
- Fixed: The content of the uninstall dialog is showing outside of the displaying area if the content contains more lines than the default expected size.
- New: Added a new button in the Security tab which allows the user to add all groups from the existing rules. This will not add Windows 10 specific groups that start with "@{".
- Improved: When deleting an authorized group from the Security tab, the selection remains empty. Pressing the delete key does not work until the user manually selects a new item from the list. The next item is now automatically selected.
- Reverted: The protocol used for a new rule created from the notification dialog will be ANY if the user does not customize the rule.

What's new in version 4.6.2.4 (06.03.2016)
- Improved: There are updaters which use a .tmp file to update their installations.
From WFC is now possible to create firewall rules for *.tmp files.
- Improved: The update dialog which is displayed when a new version of WFC is available
can't be moved and if the taskbar is set to auto hidde, the dialog is displayed out
of the screen. The update dialog can be moved now by the user.
- Improved: The authorized groups list height is not fixed anymore and will expand
with the window size so that the user can see more entries in the list.
- Improved: Added support for "@" keyword in the authorized groups. If this keyword
is added as an authorized group name, Windows 10 rules with @{} names will not be
deleted anymore by the Secure Rules feature.
- Fixed: Setting the direction to "Outbound and inbound" when editing a the details
of a new rule in the notification dialog does not create the inbound rule.

- New: Connections Log and Rules Panel are now displayed as two different windows.
Now the user can see both of them in the same time.
- New: Added new icon shortcuts for Rules Panel and Connections Log in Main Panel.
- New: Added global hot key support for Connections Log window. It can be also
launched with "wfc -cp" from the Run dialog.
- Removed: New Rules Wizard was removed due to the new refactoring.
- Updated: "Jump to rules" functionality from Connections Log was updated and
renamed to "Search rules".
- Improved: The loading time and memory usage in Rules Panel was improved due to
code refactoring.
- Fixed: The Log Connections check boxes from Connections Log appear as checked
when reopening Connections Log window, even if they were previously both unchecked.
- Fixed: Columns sizes from Connections Log data grid are restored to default values
if the saved values are not integer values.
- Fixed: Blocked and allowed connections are displayed with green color in
Connections Log. The default neutral color was restored for Connections Log.

Новое в версии 4.7.0.0

Новое: журнал подключения и панель правил теперь отображаются в двух отдельных окнах. Теперь пользователь может просматривать оба окна одновременно.
Новое: добавлены новые ярлыки иконок для панели правил и журнал подключения в главной панели.
Новое: добавлена поддержка глобальных горячих клавиш для окна журнала подключений. Можно запустить окно с помощью команды "wfc -cp" в диалоговом окне Выполнить.
Удалено: Мастер создания новых правил был удален из-за текущей перестройки.
Обновлено: функциональность "Jump to rules" из окна подключений была обновлена и переименована в "Search rules".
Улучшено: время загрузки и потребление памяти панели правил были улучшены благодаря рефакторингу кода.
Исправлено: чекбоксы журнала подключений отображались отмеченными, даже если ранее галочки были сняты.
Исправлено: размеры столбцов в сетке журнала подключений восстанавливаются до стандартных значений, если сохраненные значения не являются целыми числами.
Исправлено: заблокированные и разрешенные подключения отображаются зеленым цветом в журнале подключений. Был восстановлен стандартные нейтральный цвет для журнала подключений.

Обратите внимание, что функция «Защищать правила» теперь работает слегка по-другому.

При старой реализации он бы их молча убил, оставив пользователя, в случае возникновения проблем, гадать.

При новом новое правило примется по дефолту, меня не спрашивая.

С чего бы? Если включены оповещения, то будет вопрос о том разрешить или нет.

один раз настроить, а дальше как раньше

если изменение/добавление правил в разрешенных группах нужно подтверждать?
