Barikade (in Indonesian) or barricade (in English) is a Windows Service to close background and foreground processes running outside of permitted directories.

It's a sort of allowlist but not an app blocker. Barikade will try to close the process and prevent inbound and outbound network connections if it detects a running process that comes from outside the permitted directories.

It can prevent the use of legit software to bypass Windows Firewall and download malware by only allowing applications within AllowedPaths.ini to run and access the network.

Whats new:>>

    Automatically allows Barikade and files in the same folder as it to run
    Fixed an error because process monitoring did not return the full path of process
    Fixed the non-recursive path matching issue
    Added logic for logging the list of deleted files if a Log.txt file exists

Windows Firewall Control is a powerful tool which extends the functionality of the Windows Firewall and provides quick access to the most frequent options of the Windows Firewall. It runs in the system tray and allows user to control the native firewall easily without having to waste time by navigating to the specific part of the firewall.

Donationware.

Changelog

    New: Added compatibility with Smart App Control from Windows 11. The process wfc.exe was renamed to wfcUI.exe.
    Improved: Replaced WCF with GRPC for inter process communication. WFC requires now NET Framework 4.6.2 or a newer version.
    Improved: Global hotkey which can toggle between Low and Medium profiles can now toggle between all profiles.
    Improved: User settings are now applied per user account. Only the settings from Security tab are still global per machine.
    Fixed: Main Panel opens multiple times if you press fast on the tray icon.
    Fixed: Secure Boot is not enabling High Filtering profile if wfc.exe is not running.
    Fixed: Installer does not work if there is a WCF related problem with .NET Framework installation.
    Fixed: After a failed policy import, notifications are not displayed anymore and a program restart is required to re-enable them.
    Fixed: Notification dialog becomes unresponsive if a program generates a lot of blocked connections.
    Fixed: WFC service fails to start if EventLog service is unavailable.
    Fixed: Shell Integration allows creating new firewall rules even if WFC is locked with a password.
