Restraint trafic and applications to access internet with Firewall when connected with Dial Up SAT connexion

Hi,

To address this concern, we suggest that you follow these steps on how to block apps and programs from accessing network connection through Windows Firewall:

• Open Control Panel and click System and Security.
• On the Windows Firewall page, select Allow a program through Windows Firewall.
• Uncheck the box to the left of the application names to disallow them from accessing network connection.
• If other programs are not listed, just click Allow another program/app button to add them.

Let us know how it goes.

Thank you.

Applications cannot connect to internet after windows 10 update!

Hi, thanks for the suggestions but the problem still insists. I've tried switching off my firewall but the applications are still blocked out of internet. My internet explorer cannot even connect to it's homepage. (Internet Error etc.) I've tried reinstalling
some applications but now, the installer also cannot connect to the internet. The only application which I can use is Window 10's personal app, Microsoft Edge. Please help me again! Thanks!
