[QUOTE="Zorro, post: 823586, member: 80312"] WFC is just an add-on that simplifies the management of Windows Firewall. In other words, you do not need to manually dig into the advanced settings of the firewall, creating your own rule, you just need to select the option in the dialog box and the script specified in the add-in will write this rule for you. What else is there to understand? One dialog box with a color indication of the choices is more than understandable to the average user, since associations with one or another color are the same for all people: red is a ban, green is a resolution, everything else is intermediate options that are not hard to remember either. The principle of traffic lights. It is simple and clear. Regarding the rules, to allow the program access to the network, the user can now create only a PERMANENT rule, and in case of removal of the program / installer, it will be marked in Red in the Rule Set (that is, the rule for the remote / non-existing program). And then you will have a lot of such rules, you must delete them manually. I do not know whether it is possible in principle to create a temporary rule in the Windows firewall (the rule for a single exit to the network with its subsequent automatic deletion), or it is not at all possible due to the nature of the Windows firewall. I do not know. I did not think about such things :) [/QUOTE]
