Was wondering if it'd be possible to add hostname support instead of just IP?
As my IP sometimes changes, an having to infrequently let my friends know of any changes (so they can update their data) is a pain, which is why I have a hostname set up so that if my IP ever changes that hostname address is always updated immediately too.

(an export/import of IP list feature would also be awesome if possible, so can easily share data with friends or just back it up somewhere)

Thanks, keep up the great work, very useful tool! :-)

The hostname idea is not a bad one, but it wouldn't be simple. INetFwRule doesn't support http addresses in it's RemoteAddresses field, it requires a list of actual IPs. It would be possible to allow users to input addresses, then resolve those addresses into real IPs internally, but that requires some restructuring of the code.

The program already creates an exportable file called settings.json which stores all of your saved IPs, so you can open that in a text editor and send the contents to your friends.
