Firewall is a defense system between the local network and the external network/Internet, also an effective access control mechanism when these two networks communicate with each other. However, as everyone knows, Microsoft's built-in firewall in Windows performs practically no function and is rarely used all the time, simply because it is difficult to use. As a result, some third-party firewall control tools such as Windows 10 Firewall Control came out.

Windows 10 Firewall Control is a firewall setup auxiliary tool, designed to provide Windows users with a simpler, faster and more convenient firewall to use. It not only enhances and extends the functionality of the built-in firewall of Windows, also can be easily integrated into the Windows Explorer, from where it is much more convenient and faster to operate the Windows Firewall.

If you've always trusted Windows's built-in firewall but aren't happy with its cumbersome and inefficient way of operating, then Windows 10 Firewall Control can resolve this awkward situation for you, giving Windows Firewall a new life. However, something should be paid attention to: First of all, it is not a standalone firewall program, but an enhanced tool based on the Windows built-in firewall; Second, it is not designed for Windows 10 only (as its name suggests), but supports for all operating systems above Windows 7.
