I did try making (for testing) a new rule that simply allowed all programs and it did work (it allowed me to connect to internet + update avast).Īlso are there good firewalls with outbound protection that offers alerts? I tried the same for Avast (tried to update) and it didn't work either. (I tried selecting firefox.exe manually and copy and pasting C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe from the shortcut and it did not work). However I still cannot connect to the internet. I click program, add Firefox (and I also checked to make sure the path was correct) and clicked 'allow connect', then checked for Domain/Public/Private. I go to 'Outbound rules' and I click 'New Rule'. I try to access the internet, update avast, etc and it blocks it so it works.ģ. Went to Firewall Properties and clicked 'Block' (for Outbound) on Domain/Public/Private. Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Windows Firewall with advanced security.Ģ. I tried setting up Windows Firewall outbound connections but I can't seem to get it to allow exceptions.ġ. I'm using Vista 64 bit (latest service pack and updates).
