| | Windows Firewall and WF with Advanced Security rules not working When Windows Firewall altered me that it blocked a program and I chose to to block it, the program was still allowed to send traffic. I tried manually blocking the program by making an Inbound and Outbound rule in the Advanced Security console, but this isn't working either. Screen of Windows alerting me: http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/908/70924482tj1.png Screen of the traffic passing by anyway: http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/7333/66837047si4.png Does anyone know why the Firewall seems to be failing? Thank you~ |

| | Re: Windows Firewall and WF with Advanced Security rules not working The first image reads "incoming connections" are to be blocked. Sending traffic is allowed, receiving traffic is allowed, only the incoming connections are disallowed.

Here's my outbound rule...mirrored in the inbound section: http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/9562/outboundqn7.png I can't see that very well, but no matter - I probably can't help you with this bacause I haven't played with the firewall much. Maybe this will shed some light on your problem though: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366453.aspx |
