Partial A monitoring UI and connection logging are doable in Python, but enforcing real firewall rules on Windows needs kernel-level filtering via WFP or a signed driver, which vibe coding alone cannot produce.
What it would actually take: A real firewall needs Windows Filtering Platform integration, either through a signed kernel driver or a library such as WinDivert, plus a reliable process-to-connection mapping. Expertise in Windows internals, driver signing, and security-focused testing is required. A monitor-only version without enforcement would be a much simpler build.
