Why you made this?
I had to automatically block a mass of IP-Addresses. I did it with a simple Batch script first, but hell that was taking about 2 hours every time for 20k IPs, so i decided to create this app after realizing the creating of rules is much much faster that way.
What is this Application for?
- Blocking a mass of IPs through the Windows Firewall
- Block IPs from a List
- Interval based Blocking IPs from List
- Being faster(5 seconds instead of 2h with batch script)
How it works?
- It splits the IPs from the left Textbox into 10k lists and makes 1 Firewall Rule per 10k IPs. (Depends on the OS Version)
How does the IP-List need to look like?
- There is no need for special formatting.
- The Program will grab every IPv4 & IPv6(>= v1.3.5 + IPv4 & IPv6 CIDR/Range support) found in a List.
- Just make sure they are seperated somehow
Additional Info
- This program does not change/delte any Firewall-Rules not made by itself.
- There are no unique checks for the IPs!
- If you click the DEL-Button, you only delete the rules matching the selected Protocol & Direction.
- Automatic-Mode will always delete the existing rules matching the selected Protocol & Direction.
- This program was mostly made to update the Firewall from IP-Blacklists.
.NET Framework 4.6.1
Tested on:
- Windows 10 Pro
- Windows Server 2012 R2
- Windows Server 2008 R2
- Windows Server 2016
- Windows 7 (1k Block Size instead of 10k - Program now does this automatically)
