You read that right: you can now easily allow or block any app with the Windows Firewall with a simple hotkey press or other trigger (such as automatically when an app is launched). Requires AlomWare Toolbox to be run with admin rights.
WHAT! :D I just tried this and can confirm it works brilliantly, and it's so much easier than using the Windows Firewall. I appreciate all the work you've done with this app. It truly makes Windows so much better to use. (There's no thumbs-up emoticon in this forum, but I'd put one here if there was).

I concur with Bazza. This is a killer function! I would've paid for an app that solely did this, but to be part of everything else that Toolbox offers is really cool.
