Feature Suggestion: Folder-based Whitelist/Blacklist Management in Firewall Modes

[Kels]

@ittroll

Recent reps have said they want to get it right and have indicated that it is a complex aspect to develop. But it is certainly frustrating for users that have been waiting years for these features to find development time was instead spent on system performance monitoring which nobody asked for.

I agree with you but a free Windows Firewall GUI developed not by a professional team but by a single programmer, maybe amateur, that includes the features you mentioned, “Folder (wildcard) and certificate (publisher)” already exists. I wrote a post on the matter about four months ago so their implementation in GlassWire firewall, which is a Windows Firewall GUI too, should be technically possible I think. The post I’m referring to is Feature Request: Path-Based Firewall Blocking for Temporary Files - #8 by Kels

I haven’t tried that software, though, because currently I’m using other firewall solutions, specifically a Windows Firewall GUI (which includes a feature to temporarily allow or block a app) and a 3rd party firewall (which includes a feature to allow / block domains, globally or per-app and also a good customization of its rules, which are separate from those of the Windows Firewall) together, both freeware.

You also wrote some posts in the thread above and there’s also a response by Huda_GlassWire
