Windows firewall on/off using JAVA

Question

Is there any way to on/off windows firewall using Java? I search on google and stack-overflow, i don't find anything useful.

Answer 1

Yes.

There is a COM interface that allows the firewall state to be controlled. Here's an example from MSDN in C++.

Note that your Java program needs elevated permissions to change the setting.
