Here’s a list of all the command line switches and example configurations.

Command Line Switch	Description	Example
-Disable	Block the internet. Create the firewall rule to block ports 80 and 443	N/A
-Enable	Allow the internet. Removes the firewall rule created, allowing the ports 80 and 443	N/A
-L	The path to output the log file to.	[path]
-LogRotate	Remove logs produced by the utility older than X days	[number]
-NoBanner	Use this option to hide the ASCII art title in the console.	N/A
-Help	Display usage information. No arguments also displays help.	N/A

1

[path\]Internet-Access-Control.ps1 -Disable

This will create a Windows Firewall rule to block internet access using ports 80 and 443.

Added checks and balances to help with configuration as I’m very aware that the initial configuration can be troublesome. Running the utility manually is a lot more friendly and step-by-step now.
Added -Help to give usage instructions in the terminal. Running the script with no options will also trigger the -help switch.
Cleaned user entered paths so that trailing slashes no longer break things or have otherwise unintended results.
Added -LogRotate [days] to removed old logs created by the utility.
Streamlined config report so non configured options are not shown.
Added donation link to the ASCII banner.
Cleaned up code, removed unneeded log noise.
