simplewall is an open-source Windows application that provides a user-friendly firewall control interface powered by Windows Filtering Platform (WFP), enabling users to block or allow outgoing and incoming network connections without diving into complex OS settings or command-line tools. The app presents a clean, intuitive UI where users can define rules based on process names, IP addresses, ports, and protocols, making it possible to restrict apps from accessing the internet or control specific traffic flows with fine granularity. Because simplewall leverages WFP directly, it operates at a low level in the network stack, ensuring reliable enforcement of rules system-wide while remaining lightweight. It also includes optional modes like blocking all inbound or outbound traffic except what’s explicitly allowed, and supports temporary rule application, logging, and diagnostic views to help users understand what traffic is being blocked or permitted.
