What is BiniSoft Windows Firewall Control?
Windows Firewall Control is a powerful tool that extends the functionality of the Windows Firewall and provides new extra features that make Windows Firewall better. It runs in the system tray and allows the user to control the native firewall easily without having to waste time navigating to specific parts of the firewall. Windows Firewall Control offers four filtering modes that can be readily activated:
- High Filtering - All outbound and inbound connections are blocked. This profile blocks all attempts to connect to and from your computer.
- Medium Filtering - Outbound connections that do not match a rule are blocked. Only the programs that you allow can initiate outbound connections.
- Low Filtering - Outbound connections that do not match a rule are allowed. The user can block the programs he doesn't want to allow initiating outbound connections.
- No Filtering - Windows Firewall is turned off. Avoid using this setting unless you have another firewall running on your computer.

The main problem with windows firewall is that is an absolute pain to configure. This makes it super easy. It even has a bullseye like mode where you can just click on the program you want to allow. A+ program right here.
In previous versions of Windows, there was either no native firewall supplied with the OS or what was provided was extremely buggy, insecure, and intrusive. As of Windows 7, the OS provided firewall was upgraded to be robust and secure but was extremely difficult to configure and manage.
Unlike previous versions, the native firewall in Windows is now actually secure and lightweight. But using it is so difficult for many people that it's actually easier to install a different firewall to replace it than it is to get the native one to work. That's is a shame, because that native firewall is very tightly coupled with the operating system, and is actually very good.
WFC is not a firewall itself. What WFC does is to provide a wrapper around the existing firewall functionality already built into Windows and provides a sane, usable, and much more intuitive interface to the native firewall. The benefit of this approach is that there are no compatibility issues and there are no performance issues.
A properly configured firewall should be secure, but something you don't think about, and don't notice unless there's an issue. With WFC, the native firewall in Windows finally reaches this level.
You've probably heard of malwareBytes for their malware scans. I like their Firewalling program BiniSoft/Malwarebytes even more! I've tried many firewalls, and for simplicity and compatibility, I keep coming back to this software. It plays nice with my Glasswire, and gives good clear displays of your recent connections that have been accepted and/or blocked.
Free and lets manually create rules approving or rejecting any (even system) connection.
Extreamly powerfull. Low price. You may use your license on any pc
The software is now freeware.

I can't recommend this tiny application enough. If you use the built-in Windows firewall, this application will allow you to take full control of it. The application is free but has a few things disabled in free mode. To unlock all the features and be able to have unlimited installs on unlimited machines, you'll have to provide a very small $10 donation. That is an absolute steal by what all you can do with this little gem!
Donate $10 to the developer and unlock this powerful Windows firewall companion! In my opinion, it's worth way more than $10.
My Rating: 10/10
Its quite simple to use and I like how it does the popups for blocked applications etc.. Real light weight too ! I didn't really want to install a 3rd party firewall as the Windows 7 firewall works. Its just a pain to configure and has some weird method of only showing pop-ups for blocked items sometimes.
This acts more like an addon than anything else ! Helps you control that windows built-in firewall. I'm surprised this doesn't come bundled with Windows :P
Just perfect!
agree, perfect companion for windows firewall...
