Good afternoon! It would be convenient to add the "hide system processes" checkbox in the add processes window. It would be convenient for novice users.
It is very useful to see a list of all working rules. Including those built into windows and created earlier. That is, a complete list of firewall rules. You need a search field, the ability to filter (enabled/disabled), color marking, manual sorting (dragging).
For example, you can use Binisoft Windows Firewall Control.
You also need to check the functionality of built-in utilities, such as ping, tracert, and so on. What I wrote about earlier.
Click the Add button under the list of applications and services, then select the apps or services you want to add. After an app or service is added, click its up and down arrows and choose whether to allow or block connections through the firewall.
Hey guys! Sometimes I need to block a program in the kaspersky firewall, I am doing it by clicking on the gear symbol, then firewall, then manage the programm rules. That are a freaking lot of steps on the one hand and on the other hand, sometimes the programs are not listed there before I start them the first time. SO I need to unblug by internet, start close the program and then again try to block it in the firewall. But even then some .exe are still not visible there!

Allow an app through firewall - If the firewall is blocking an app you really need, you can add an exception for that app, or open a specific port. Learn more about that process (and why you might not want to) at Risks of allowing apps through Microsoft Defender Firewall.
Advanced settings - If you're knowledgeable about firewall settings this will open the classic Windows Defender Firewall tool which lets you create inbound or outbound rules, connection security rules, and see monitoring logs for the firewall. Most users won't want to dig into it that deeply; adding, changing, or deleting rules incorrectly can cause your system to be more vulnerable or can cause some apps not to work.
Restore firewalls to default - If someone, or something, has made changes to your Windows Firewall settings that is causing things not to work properly you're just two clicks away from resetting the settings back to the way they were when you first got the computer. If your organization has applied any policies to configure the firewall those will be reapplied.
Now this should not be possible since the firewall rule is set to totally block any data from internal device accessing other devices on the LAN. The firewall rule that allows all traffic from Internal to IPv4 should not be causing this issue since IPv4 is "the internet" and does not include file sharing services. Perhaps the X-plore app is using some strange protocol to access my network share that is bypassing the firewall?
Big issues here. I just deleted every single firewall rule and yet I am able to browse the internet which I should not be able to do since the "web browsing" firewall rule Internal->ANY->Internet IPv4->allow isn't even listed anymore and this never used to happen. Internet browsing should be blocked until this rule is created and enabled.
2. The reason you can reach the internet with no firewall rules is because you have enabled the web proxy and web traffic is going through that. You can confirm this by having no rules and disabling the proxy. You will then have no access.
The UTM does have it's learning points like this and I too was caught out because we're used to the old FW rules needing to be in place. Basically a good rule of thumb is.... if a proxy is enabled eg smtp, web, WAF etc, the traffic will hit that first before the firewall rules (with a few exceptions)
It is possible for a firewall to block certain ports, specifically ones that VPNs use. If your data travels through one of the blocked ports, the firewall will not allow it to pass through, preventing you from communicating using your VPN.
When a network is blocking VPNs using a firewall that bans the use of certain ports, you can change the port you are using so your transmissions can still pass through. This requires discretion because if your methods are uncovered, admins may block each port you use to access VPNs, one by one.
Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) is a method used to transmit internet traffic between users and machines, but it lacks adequate security. To resolve this issue, L2TP is sometimes used alongside Internet Protocol security (IPsec). IPsec encrypts the data packets being sent through the internet, making them extremely difficult to read, even by VPN blockers.
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is used to overcome a free VPN blocker because it can transmit a lot of data quickly. This makes it easier to watch videos or listen to high-quality audio for PPTP users.
You can use FortiGate to bypass VPN blockers by setting up your own dedicated network using ports allowed by the network you are using to connect. In this way, there is no chance of your IP address showing up on a banned list, the port will be accepted, and the IP address you are using will be a dedicated one. You also get the power to control who can access which applications, which adds another layer of security to your network.
IP Blocker Firewall works as a Windows system network filter placed in the TCP/IP stack. Some firewall software programs implement their IP filtering functions at upper layers such as the transport layer, so not all network packets can be filtered. With IP Blocker Firewall, the IP filter is at a lower layer (the data link layer) and no network packets can bypass it. When a packet passes through the IP Blocker firewall filter, it checks the user-defined firewall rules and decides whether to let it through or drop it.
As it commonly known, Windows introduced plenty of allegedly diagnostics collection tools which collect our private data and send this info to MS servers.
Is it efficient and reasonable to block them by means of Windows Firewall? This seems equivalent to putting the cat among the pigeons, i.e. quite useless.
It is naïve to force Windows to protect user from itself. I have a strong suspicion that disregard of firewall rules Windows Firewall will always pass all requests that are treated as "internal" or OS-related. Am I wrong?
In terms of using Windows own firewall ... unsure, but to the best of my knowledge both of these programs make use of the hosts file which seems to work just fine. Something that you have to understand is that as much as M$ wants to spy on you ... this OS is also used by businesses and the government / military ... while im sure M$ could write a backdoor in there own firewall I suspect it would cost them more government contracts then it would gain them in analytics / advertising.
I want to block all porn websites and similar contents in my Windows 7 PC using Windows firewall. Till now I can block it by inserting sites one by one. Is there any category defined for such sites or contents so that I can block all porn sites and contents from my windows PC.
Yes, but not with firewall. You either need a browser plugin or To be able to block every adult-content, videos, pictures etc...You need third-party application that have maintained databases of this type of content, it will take care of that for you automatically, 3rd-party will have responsive collection of updated database that contain all of this on regular basis done for you.
I'm developing an Android app that communicates with a desktop .NET application through tcp sockets. But I'm facing an issue with computer's firewall. The applications act both as servers and clients, and they listen to port 50655.
Our firewall protects your privacy by automatically blocking trackers in the background when using other apps on your device. At the moment, this feature is available in the iOS version of 1Blocker because the necessary tools are supported by iOS only.
Trackers collect as much information about you as possible. It then can be sold to third-party companies or stored for future use. The information collected usually contains your personal data, such as your interests, your location, and so on.
There are many times when an IP blocker firewall can come in handy. Perhaps you hope to stream live content from a different country or hide your Internet address when posting within an online forum. This software is lightweight easy to work with and up to date.
This IP blocker firewall is able to successfully hide a single address or a range of addresses with the simple click of a button. You will also be able to filter specific variables such as protocols ports and TCP/IP flows between two devices. Not only will IP lists be updated in real time but this package supports other formats such as .htaccess (Apache).
This updated version has fixed many previous issues and enhancements such as the ability search for remote addresses and log files are other benefits to be enjoyed. Thankfully the file size is a mere 1.64 megabytes. So this IP blocker firewall is ideally suited for systems limited by the amount of hard drive space that is present. It will cause few performance issues and thanks to a free five-day trial you will be able to test its functionality before making a purchase.
I enabled mixed control and I can see some user created firewall rules on the client, including windows network settings which is allowing file printer sharing. How can I get rid of those user created rules from sepm?
