Firewall App Blocker (Fab)

guest · Apr 16, 2020

In Windows, you can use Windows Firewall to block or unblock certain applications, but it doesn’t offer an easy-to-use interface for its advanced features.
Firewall App Blocker makes the process very easy! Simply drag and drop the application you wish to block into the FAB window, or browse the hard disk to find it.That’s it!

Note: Firewall App Blocker doesn’t change Windows Firewall default Rules. If you use 3rd party security software or a 3rd party firewall (e.g. Avast), they can disable your Windows Firewall. If you do not want Ms Edge and similar microsoft programs to access the Internet in White List mode, you can manually disable their rules in the advanced windows firewall settings Firewall App Blocker runs properly only if your Windows Firewall is enabled.

When I started to develop WFC back in 2010, I never thought there will be so many apps for controlling Windows Firewall.

The WhiteList Mode looks to be its best feature, as it follows the recommended "Default deny" approach.

This is interesting as it helps in application whitelisting on an organization level instead of purschasing a third-party solution for this purpose or relaying on GPO to do this which a bit complated.
