About Malwarebytes Windows Firewall Control
Malwarebytes Windows Firewall Control is a Windows utility for managing the built-in firewall. It runs in the system tray and provides quick access to firewall controls without requiring users to navigate through Windows settings. The application adds management features around Windows Firewall and lets users switch among four filtering modes. The listed modes range from blocking all inbound and outbound connections to allowing outbound traffic unless a rule blocks it. Other modes provide less restrictive filtering, with the option to let users decide how connections are handled. This helps users manage which programs can connect while using the native Windows firewall. The description lists compatibility with Windows 7 through Windows 11 and several Windows Server versions. Windows Firewall Control is a management interface for the operating system firewall, not a separate network firewall. The evidence does not detail every mode’s rule behavior or provide a complete security assessment. Its documented role is making firewall controls and filtering profiles easier to access from the system tray.
