Firewall Control
Windwall
Total control over your network. A lightweight control center for the Windows firewall with real-time connection monitoring, native rule control, and one-click lockdown.
What Windwall does
The whole feature set, written the way Windwall writes firewall rules.
Firewall Rules
Enumerate, toggle, create and delete - this is what Windwall sets up for you
-
ALLOWED
Live connection log
Every allowed and blocked connection on your PC, streaming in real time. Search by process, IP, port or protocol.
-
LIVE
Launch-chain lineage Pro
See the full chain of processes behind a connection, such as the winword.exe → powershell.exe → remote host trail that a firewall watching only “powershell” would miss. Root at top, every ancestor allow- or block-able in place.
-
ALLOWED
Native firewall rules
Create, toggle and delete the genuine Windows Firewall rules, not a private copy. What Windwall shows is what Windows enforces.
-
ALLOWED
Rule collections Pro
Group the rules you keep flipping - games, work apps, a VPN kill-set - into named collections, then enable, disable or delete the whole set in one action.
-
ALLOWED
One-click security modes
Flip the whole machine between High, Medium and Low postures, right from the window or the system tray.
-
ALLOWED
Smart block prompts
An unknown app reaches out, you get one card: Allow or Block. One click writes the matching rule.
-
BLOCKED
“Block with Windwall”
Right-click any program or folder in Explorer and it never phones home again, without even opening the app.
-
BLOCKED
Shield - malicious IPs & DNS Pro
Block a curated blocklist of botnet and malware IPs with Windwall’s own filters, even offline, and route every adapter through a malware-filtering DNS resolver, encrypted on Windows 11. Or keep your own DNS and just block the bad IPs.
-
LIVE
Traffic Monitor & world map Pro
Live per-process bandwidth with WAN / LAN split and an interactive map of every remote endpoint.
-
BLOCKED
Data limits Pro
Cap how much data an app may use per day or month. Go over and Windwall warns you, or cuts the app off until the period resets. Live usage bars, right in the Traffic Monitor.
-
LIVE
Connection history Pro
Hours and days of allowed and blocked events, kept and searchable. Scrub back through time, not just the live tail.
-
BLOCKED
Incoming connections Pro
The other direction: every program on your PC that other devices can connect to, like Remote Desktop, file sharing or a game server. See which networks can reach it and the rule that lets them in, then block it on public Wi-Fi in one click.
Pricing
Free forever. Pro is a one-time key, no subscription, no account.

Frequently asked questions
Still stuck, hit a bug, or have an idea? .
Is Windwall free?
Yes. The core firewall control center, with the live connection log, native rule management, security modes and the right-click block menu, is free forever. Pro is an optional one-time €19.99 unlock for Shield, the Traffic Monitor, the connection world map and history, the Incoming view, per-app data limits, launch-chain lineage and rule collections.
Does Windwall replace the Windows Firewall?
No, it drives it. Windwall reads and writes the genuine Windows Firewall rules through the supported platform APIs, so everything it shows is the real system firewall, not a private copy.
Does Windwall need administrator rights?
Yes. Managing the Windows firewall requires elevation, so Windwall requests administrator privileges at launch and shows a one-click relaunch banner if it ever starts unelevated.
How does the Pro license work?
You buy a one-time license key on this site via Stripe. Paste it into Settings → Windwall Pro. It’s a lifetime license, one purchase with no subscription, and it works on up to 3 devices at a time.
Where do I download Windwall?
Windwall is on the Microsoft Store, free to install on Windows 10 and 11, and it updates itself from there. Pro is unlocked with a license key bought on this site.
