📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses a user's difficulty in managing firewall rules for individual programs in Windows 7, seeking an easier solution to allow or block specific applications without creating numerous rules. Contributors suggest using the Windows Firewall allowed apps list or third-party tools like Tweaking.com's firewall manager, but the original poster clarifies that these methods don't meet their needs. The overall sentiment indicates a lack of a straightforward, native solution for granular per-application control within Windows 7 firewall settings.

Hello!

I just had a look at the options of my Windows 7 Home Premium firewall where I miss a feature which might be implemented but I haven't found it yet: Is there a way to block in / out connections of every program and specify which ones are permitted?

As far as I know you need to create one rule for each program what is very tedious.

Thanks for help!

this is not what I need nor I want

The easiest way to control individual programs is using a program such as Tweaking.com's program

well, this is simply an automation for configuring the advanced firewall but still does not refer to my request.


no solution yet?
