  1. Can't get Signal through Windows Firewall


    When I install Signal for Desktop, it throws me an error that it can't connect to its servers. I found an Audit Failure event in Event Viewer for this app: "The Windows Filtering Platform has blocked a connection.". So then I went and allowed the application through Windows Firewall, both private and public networks. But it didn't solve the problem. I then disabled Windows Firewall, and then it started working. Enabling the Firewall again blocked the application. How to solve this issue without keeping my firewall disabled?

    :)

  2. Best free AV and firewall

    Can Windows Firewall block outgoing connections yet? If not, it's one step above useless.

    Look into Online Armor for a free firewall.

    Good Antivirus + Firewall

    I would never put anything Norton on my computer.

    Nod32 is arguably the best antivirus. AVG is likely not as good, but it's free and at least pretty good.

    Firewalls, I'd put Comodo and whatever "Tiny Personal Firewall" is named nowadays on your short list. I think Kerio might have sold it now and it's named something else. Otherwise, just put Comodo on your short list. I think the current version's ease of use has taken a step backwards, seems a bit counter-intuitive when trying to do certain things with it, but overall it does a good job and the price is right.
