    I'm new to KIS 2015, can't figur out how to set specific program rules in fwall, mainly to prevent a few progs to "call home",
    I only have the possibility to edit program rule settings set by the fwall AFTER they said hello to mum.
    I asked this already to KIS support, no usable answer.
    Anyone succeeded ?
    thanks

    you can't add block without run the app first

    put all trusted or no trusted to "Prompt for action" before access the internet
     
    Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...

    thank you, I could not figure out there is no possibility to create a rule "before" i.e. right after install as in Bitdefender, Eset and their likes. This end my trial of KIS.

    correct, but when you dont knows the ip/host's then is more easy by blocking the exe

    KIS lacks the feature you find in above mentionned Internet security suites: dedicated sub menu in the fwall settings, usually called "create program rule" allowing to contorl inbound/outbound connection to the internet simply by selecting the program (exe) in its directory.
