1.1.0

-Allow Parameter

You can now create Allow firewall rules instead of only Block rules. This is useful for explicitly whitelisting a folder of executables.

Allow all EXEs in a folder

BlockFolderWindowsFirewall -Path "C:\Folder" -Allow

Allow recursively, inbound only

BlockFolderWindowsFirewall -Path "C:\Folder" -Allow -Recurse -Inbound

-Allow supports all the same combinations as blocking: -Recurse, -Inbound, -Outbound. It cannot be combined with -UnblockInstead.

Changes

• Internal refactor: Block-Exe and Allow-Exe merged into a single Set-ExeFirewallRule function
• Main processing loop simplified: no longer duplicated per operation mode
