In Windows , you can set the Windows Firewall to block or unblock certain applications but it doesn’t offer an easy-to-use interface for its advanced features , You may want to block a program from accessing the internet in the Windows Firewall to do that you must follow the following steps:
1. Click the Windows orb and open the Control Panel
2. Select System and Security
3. In the Windows Firewall section, select Allow a program through Windows Firewall
4. If the program you wish to block or unblock is not listed, you can click the Allow another program button to add it.
Choose the application in the list and select Add. If the program is not in this list, use the Browse etc…
It seems complicated for the normal users , Firewall App Blocker makes the process very easy , just Drag and drop the application that you want to block or use the browse button to select it , thats all , if you want to allow it again just use delete button.
This program doesn’t really do anything new that Windows itself doesn’t do already … but it does provide a simpler means to select which programs will be blocked.
Note: Firewall App blocker doesn’t change windows Firewall default settings .If you use third party Security software or Firewall (for example ; Avast) they can disable your Windows Firewall , “Firewall App blocker” runs properly if your Windows firewall not disabled and run properly.
Here are the Options and Edit menus from Firewall Application Blocker , in this version there some extra features on Options menu , One of them is “Add to exe context menu”
if you choose to use this feature , it will add a new entry on your .exe right click menu and after that you can right click any exe file to blok it in windows Firewall , if you don’t want to see “Block in Windows Firewall” Feature in your .exe context menu but want it to see only if you press Shift button first , you can use “Use Shift Key to display” feature
If you right click any blocked Application you can use the Edit menu , Fab has cmd support too ,to use it just use the correct parameter
