fireBwall

fireBwall is a lightweight software application whose purpose is to help you block TCP/UDP ports. This firewall can be deployed on all Windows versions out there. The utility makes use of drivers supplied by NT Kernel and allows developers to create and apply plugins for setting up their firewall.

In order to run the program correctly on your system and avoid bumping into compatibility issues, you need to deploy Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.

The tool reveals a clean feature lineup that integrates only a few configuration settings. A help manual is not included in the package so you need to experiment a little bit with the built-in parameters in order to understand how it works.

The application gives you the possibility to configure your network adapter and set the ports that you want to be whitelisted. You can manually specify the ports that you want to block or allow.

What’s more, fireBwall lets you check out logs with information about the connections and possible errors, enable a developer mode, specify the maximum number of logs, as well as set the maximum packet logs.

Other important features worth being mentioned enable you to look for updates at program startup or check at a user-defined time interval.

All things considered, fireBwall comes packed with several basic features for helping you set up incoming and outgoing TCP and UDP connections in order to improve the overall security of the computer. On the downside, professional users may be disappointed by the tool’s poor support for advanced options, as you cannot set up custom rules for managing connections.
