--- svchost.exe in one instance check Windows Update in another check Windows Defender update and etc..., this gives rise to another IP. --- to know that, you have to use full log as explained above. It is difficult to explain if the other does not take part.
Hello I setup my firewall with this guide. But cant get internet. The wlanstick is blocked. What rule must I set up?
Yes i allowed internet explorer for test. I connect wlan and i shows the sign with limited. If i set to low Filtering wlan connects internet and browser works.
freaker.. if you applied the reg file posted by the OP you will have the very basic rules for internet connectivity. No WIFI, File / Print / Network Sharing etc. The reason that you can get out on Low filtering is that the firewall is letting all outbound requests go through, whilst Medium will only allow the approved rules in the list. WFC is a nifty little app & can assist both advanced & novice users. In your case you need to clear & reset your rules back to WFC recommended defaults, delete or block unrequired services / apps. In – Out & add apps & other services not listed that you require. These are per user settings & are not generic rules. BR Mike
Interesting that it seems this guide for blocking everything works better than a lot of personal firewall out there... Realy interesting. Doing some tests here and all seems to get blocked, all kinds of atacks Im trying get blocked... dont have a proper answer to if this guide can replace personal firewalls, but so far.. so good.
I'm using this solution in Win8.1 First, I installed Win8.1 with update 3 using an untouched iso (no a single extra update), then implemented this solution and had a lot of svchost.exe activity blocked. I monitored this behavior around 10 days in a row. Yesterday I installed all updates up to date via WU and now I have only 12 svchost.exe entries in WFC log after 3 hours running. I am
So what is that means ?? M$ has modified(via WU) their calling-back modules to bypass the firewall so you can not log them anymore just one possibility
Can someone help me with my rules...I deleted the rules i know and no need. But there many more i dont know if it is needed. Everything must be blocked.Only Windowsupdate Wifi,LAN and my apps are allowed to go online. But i need 20 posts to supply my rules
Strangely, today svchost.exe activity back to normal Lots of entries in WFC connections log. Anyway I keep a Full policy file backup just in case M$ decides to revert firewall ruleset back to its defaults ...
Tried the partial policy.wpw ... did not work out for HomeGroup Networking. Does anyone know what are the WFC policies or rules to enable local HomeGroup Networking ? Thks.
I don't have WFC, but in the standard interface there are two rules for Homegroup in inbound and two in outbound. Inbound: Svchost.exe - Peer Networking Grouping, remote address: local subnet, protocol: TCP, local port: 3587, remote port: any Svchost.exe - Peer Name Resolution Protocol, remote address: local subnet, protocol: UDP, local port: 3540, remote port: any The ports are reversed for outbound: Svchost.exe - Peer Networking Grouping, remote address: local subnet, protocol: TCP, local port: any, remote port: 3587 Svchost.exe - Peer Name Resolution Protocol, remote address: local subnet, protocol: UDP, local port: any, remote port: 3540
i installed all updates for win10 and now i cant open WFC from Taskbar no right & leftklick. After deinstalled update for update and testet if it working. Removing KB3081455 solved error. Anyone have this too?
It's a pain in the a$$ to get Updates working with the Whitelist Method. Anyone know all (or the most) Microsoft Update IP's? Is there a list of all known Microsoft IP's? Questions over Questions...
