And if the firewall is allowed to auto-decide, it'll allow VLC network access. The reason for this is- I don't want every trusted application to access the internet.
When a new application is installed, it should not look up a database of trusted applications and automatically allow network access if it thinks it's a safe application- it should always ASK ME WHAT TO DO. I just want a vanilla firewall that will ALLOW or BLOCK network connection from different applications, nothing else.Īnother VERY IMPORTANT requirement is that the firewall should give me complete control and put me in command.
Windows 10 firewall control vs comodo software#
Sandboxing is useless to me, as I don't run untrusted software from the internet anyway. I hate comodo's HIPS and ALWAYS disable it. I want a simple firewall with ZERO extra features. To make matters worse, there's no pop-up asking me to define a rule when an unknown application attempts internet access- the firewall auto-decides based on global configuration whether to allow or deny network to the application, and I have to go to control panel and skim thru thousands of lines of rules to find the one i need and define appropriate settings. If i select DENY, I need to configure a rule or else everything is BLOCKED. If I select ALLOW, almost everything is allowed some level of internet access.
It will either ALLOW outgoing connections by default, or BLOCK outgoing connections by default. The reason is simple, it's tedious to configure. While this might work for the majority of users, it doesn't work for me.
