6.28.0.0 Sir
Ah and i managed to translate FirewallHardening rules in a right *.whw format that will be imported in the Windows Firewall then on WFC, apart one rule which is BITSadmin (decorative rule), which i've set alone in the registry, but WFC can't see it, Windows yes (logging enabled).

My favorite firewall software. I have been using it since before it was acquired by Malwarebytes. In fact, I still have its license key.

Version 6.28.0.0 and 6.29.0.0 don't display notification connection anymore, you should stay with the 6.26.0.0 until the issue is gone.

What's new in version 6.29.0.0 (March 09, 2026)
