To waste time by navigating to the specific part of the firewall.

It runs in the system tray and allows the user to control the native firewall easily without having Windows Firewall and provides new extra features which makes Windows Firewall better. Windows Firewall Control is a powerful tool which extends the functionality of However W10FC offers a much more simple way – think once on every application detection, choose a proper zone and don’t be disturbed of the same application anymore.Windows Firewall Control - Managing Windows Firewall is now easier than ever Program Overview Getting separate prompt for pinging is rather possible with Plus Edition as well, but would require some understanding of System application network activity.įYI: Popup-ing on an individual activity is possible (with proper configuration) but against the general the expected program usage scenario and would cause multiple popups for every activity causing creation of complex, permanently permissions accumulating zones that are hard to manage So ping has a dedicated (editable) rule for that. Plus Edition allows the security zones customization. With Plus Edition you can control pings separately from the entire System permissions. We could hardly advise disabling (limiting entire System access) network access for System as it can break the entire network connectivity for the computer. The general scenario is nearly the same, excepting popup (detection prompt for the entire System permissions).

With Basic Edition you can control System applications permissions, entirely for System though. System application is not listed (was deleted), you start pinging, the firewall blocks the initial System activity (ping failed at that moment), the forced EnableAll is set silently to System, then pinging is successful. There is only one scenario of ping is blocked by the firewall (with Free Edition).

So System application permissions are responsible for the ping propagation,Īnd so pinging can’t be detected separately from System.įree Edition can’t control system applications so ping can’t be controlled individually at all. Ping is technically implemented in the name of System application (as it’s listed by W10FC) in spite of an application you are actually pinging from.
