Windows Firewall Notifier (WFN for short and for the continuation of this article) comes in handy if you’re the type of person who cares about privacy & security and the type of person who wants a more efficient means of keeping a close eye on the firewall that Microsoft baked into the Windows operating system.

You see, WFN was designed to be a sort of “extension” for the built-in Windows firewall. It’ll help you monitor connections in real-time, it will let you access a connections map, it will bring up connection notifications, it will even help you monitor bandwidth usage.

WFN needs .NET Framework 4.5 and Windows Vista or newer to run. A Read Me file is available in English and French. Access it to view some handy information about getting WFN up and running and about using WFN on a Windows PC.

The Connections section from the WFN Cons:ole is easy to navigate. From the Cons:ole you can access several settings that govern how WFN works. WFN is free and open source software (consider making a donation if you like this software).

Cons:
None that I could think of.

Pros

WFN works with any Windows edition from Windows Vista onward. The WFN

Cons

ole displays all active connections; the list is updated every second by default. The Rules section lists all Windows firewall rules. The Log section displays a list of the latest blocked outgoing connections. WFN is free and open source software. The About prompt, which says that “Windows Firewall Notifier is free and will always be,” features a Donate with PayPal button. So if you like WFN, show your support and make a donation. Keep a close eye on your internet connection, on the applications that connect to the internet, and on the Windows firewall. Do that with the free Windows Firewall Notifier (WFN).
