Quote from: Paul (Lead Developer) on February 15, 2026, 08:44:05 PMNew automation step: "Window: Allow internet access", which sets whether the assigned window's app is permitted to access the internet or not. 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).

Thanks, Bazza. Appreciate your kind words.

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.
