    Windows Firewall doesn't use my rules...


    I'm planning on getting a VPN soon but wanted to make sure I can restrict an app to only use a VPN Connection (so my IP does'nt leak) by blocking my IP address in Firewall.

    I've been trying to set up a rule to do that with Firefox, but no matter what I try, Firefox is STILL able to connect to the Internet...i've even tried blocking all connections (not just my Specific IP) and it still somehow connects...

    I've read many forms online but none seem to actually fix my problem.

    Here are the settings I put incase it helps: Rule type: Custom This Program path: (set to the path of firefox.exe) Protocol and Ports: Any Scope: -Which local IP addresses? "These IP addresses" 192.168.0.0/16 -Which remote IP addresses? "These IP addresses" 192.168.0.0/16 Action: Block The Connection Profiles: (all three are checked)

    (I did the same settings for an outbound rule AND an inbound rule)

    Please help

  2. Windows 10 Firewall won't keep my inbound/outbound rules

    Hi,

    I realize the inconvenience caused to you regarding the Windows Firewall. I will certainly assist you.

    I suggest you to restart the Windows firewall service and check if it helps.

    Follow the below steps for the same.

    • Press Windows key + R simultaneously for Run.
    • Type services.msc and then Enter.
    • Right click on the Windows firewall services and then restart the services and check if it helps.
    If the issue still persists then I suggest you to remove and then read the Windows fire wall rule.

    Hope this information is helpful. Please get back to us with the information required, if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Windows Firewall: Doesn't show blocking rules

    Hello!

    Today I've blocked all connections of a program by creating a outbound rule in Windows Firewall. However, I now wish to remove it. The problem: I can't find that newly created rule anywhere in the list. The rule does take an effect, since deactivating the
    Firewall lets the program run properly. I can only see rules in the list that "allow" stuff, but not those who block things.

    What I have tried so far:

    - All filters set to "Show all" within the Firewall

    - Created the same rule again, doesn't show up

    - Created a rule that allows the program, shows up

    Any solutions?
