Editorial description
Iron Gate Firewall is a application firewall for Windows 10 and 11. Prompts when a new executable first opens a network connection, with a permanent allow list. This catalog page covers the current 4.0.3 installer we measured at 27.0 MB, including the SHA-256 published with the release.
In daily use it lets you watch new binaries, ask once, and remember the decision. We noted rules show publisher name when Authenticode is valid. Setup does not bundle extra toolbars. The trial nag appears after 30 days; rules stay in place.
Key features
