Filtering modes:

Windows Firewall Control offers four filtering modes which can be switched with just a mouse click: 

High Filtering: All outbound and inbound connections are blocked. This profile blocks all attempts to connect to and from your computer. 
Medium Filtering:  Outbound connections that do not match a rule are blocked. Only the programs that you allow can initiate outbound connections. 
Low Filtering:  Outbound connections that do not match a rule are allowed. The user can block the programs he doesn't want to allow initiating outbound connections. 
No Filtering:  Windows Firewall is turned off. Avoid using this setting unless you have another firewall running on your computer. 

Windows Firewall Control doesn't do any packet filtering and does not block or allow any connection. This is done by Windows Firewall itself based on the existing firewall rules.

What is the difference between registered user and activation code?

License:

• An activation code is valid for an installation id as long as the operating system is not changed.
  
• If the operating system is reinstalled then the installation id changes and the activation code will not work anymore.
  
• The activation status is preserved between WFC versions when a new update is available.
  
• An activation code can be used to keep WFC activated for 1 month or for 5 years depending on how long the installation id remains the same.
  
• Because an activation code works for a specific installation id only, an activation code can be used on one machine only.
  

Registered user:

A registered user account offers access to an online activation code generator which can be used to activate WFC on all computers that a user owns at home, for unlimited times, anytime.

A registered user can activate for example WFC on all his 5 computers at any time.

To become a registered user, a donation is required on website for a lifetime license for all computers that a user owns.

As a Registered User, you will get the following extra benefits and features:

Notifications System which provides notifications for outbound blocked connections. You can display notifications for all outgoing connections that were blocked (display mode) or only for unsigned programs (learning mode). In addition, you can disable notifications

Create temporary rules which are automatically deleted when they expire or on program restart.

Conclusion:

This is the best tool to manage that lets you fully manage and control your native firewall. The program is easy to use and
