Simplewall tool – configure network activity on your PC

Simplewall tool presents a very easy and effective way to configure the Windows filtering platform and decide which applications and services will run on your computer at launch and which ones you want to block.

With a Windows Filtering Platform (WFP), you will be able to filter network data and decide which applications are allowed on your computer and network. They work to protect you from some malicious programs, which can run on your PC undetected by the firewall.

But with Simplewall tool you will be able to configure the filters for the Windows filtering platform and overwrite the generic rules and filters defined in the WFP during the installation of the Windows operating system.

This gives you a little more control over which programs can run on your computer and network and which ones are blocked.
Change filters, lock protocols and stay safe.
The first time you want to install this application, you will need to configure some filters and prepare them. And the application itself will ask you to disable the Windows firewall in the process, but stay calm and do as they say. Filters are rules that you can apply to your network to block or allow certain processes or services to run on it.

You can use the application from the tray menu, which is easy to do. There are security templates or, rather, presets that you can use with the application.
They are the white list, the black list and no one’s trust list. The latter is the most difficult because it has the strictest filters, but it is also the safest and will allow only the necessary processes and protocols.

At the same time, you can configure, enable and disable certain services such as DHCP, DNS, NTP, SNMP, SSDP, Windows Update and Network Discovery. You can also view outgoing and incoming protocols and connections. You have full control over what is allowed and what is blocked.
Simplewall is a perfect tool that allows you to apply filters to the WFP, which can help control which services and protocols are allowed or blocked. Download free Simplewall tool here
