Windows Firewall Control (WFC) by BiniSoft.org

It's unnecessary statistics with no practical use. Use sorting by name, Search field, that's enough to understand.

 

Hello, noticed with last windows update there was some huge ethernet changes to the settings which basically broke my setup.
VPN + WFC + Windows update(24h2) -> Will cause issues.

Had to uninstall NordVPN had to tinker and after like 10 restarts I got i to work as I want again.
1. Uninstall NordVPN entirely
2. Uninstall WFC
3. Restart, check connection.
4. Install NordVPN -> if you use older version due to split tunneling only working with older then make sure you disable nordupdater service (you'll have to do it twice as it activates during initial execution of the app)
5. Make all settings you need for NordVPN, don't enable anything before this -> make the setup then when you are entirely done with nordvpn setup you go ahead to next.
6. Activate nordvpn make sure the connection is as you want.
7. Install WFC, make sure to allow all applications that are running (note it's accepted via nordvpn connection, so you still have to do with your regular connection as they differ to WFC)
8. Block NordVPN updater app via rightclick shell extension of WFC (you can toggle this feature in the app)

If anyone wonder which version works somewhat okay with split tunneling on nordvpn it's: 7.26.2.0

 

I will use this topic to announce a new translation tool which is related to Biniware Run, but also to Binisoft Windows Firewall Control. For multi language support, check this out:

Creating a new translation file or updating an outdated translation file is now an easier task.

 

For anyone looking for an Alternative VPN:

Luckily, I have had no troubles with 24H2 and SurfShark VPN's latest update with OpenVPN or WireGuard protocols. I can designate websites by app or by IP/URL to bypass the VPN (Tunneling?) when required. I did have to uninstall MBAM to get SS to install - it didn't like it. However, it did install OK after I rebooted. WFC seems fine. SS's inbuilt AV works OK now with MBM & WD, but is a resource hog, so I disable the SS AV service. SS's 'CleanWeb' filters out baddies at their server level, so it doesn't impact performance at my end. SS is cheap too!
(You can elect to NOT add their AV at the time of subscription, but it stays in your account until the subscription expires.)
