But no, worse, I see a warning one time every 100 tries. What should I set as a starting point so the connection is forbidden for every program?Īfter that, I would any program trying to connect to the internet raises a warning. But instead, everything can go out without warning. Deleting everything from those rulesets, nothing should go out. Primarily I would know how to set the 'Firewall Rules' and the 'HIPS Rules'.

The first impression is it does something good, but is very messy, but probably it is matter of getting habitued. Now I am trying Comodo Personal Firewall, just to checking alternatives. Just check who wants send things outside the computer. NO antivirus, NO web filter, NO spam check and other things I manage elsewhere.

I want something free, just the basic stuff. Windows Update is done manually thru download of the patches when I decide.Īnd Outpost was the ideal in this (of course there were other good things, like protect the registry, block invading other processes memory space but I digress). The browser can get out only on port 80, other ports are to be approved case by case. No program needs the abhorring 'check new versions automatically at startup'. Video players for various formats do not need it. The rule is simple, or at least I thought: nothing, literally nothing, connects to the net without manual approval. Nothing fancy, simple games, movies, ebooks, browsing cat videos. I am referring to a personal leisure computer, with Windows 7 64. I kept it until I could, but unfortunately the time to change is arrived.
