Unfortunately there is nowadays to much software out there that you need to use which is not malicious, yet still expresses some malware behavior by trying to communicate with its makers and does no offer you an option to disable that unwanted behavior. Of cause real malware will just inject a dll into my firefox or some thign like this, so a application firewall is not a proper protection against malicious software anyways.īut its a great protection about all this Cloud ****, and **** Cr4p. I know WFC is not even a proper firewall its just a helper tool to use the windows build in firewall, but that seamed to work well enough. Hence my inquiry if there is something open source with similar functionality. My web browser going on micro$hit.com is perfectly fine (as long as its not edge) but fir example search_ui.exe accessing anything on the wen especially micro$hit.com must be blocked.Ĭurrently I'm using WFC I even got the premium version, but now I read the developer sold himself to malware bytes so the software may stop being developed.
Click to expand.That is exactly _NOT_ what I want.ĭefining network based rules is useless if you want to keep all applications from using http/https _except_ your web browser.Īll filtering on the network, can only block by port or IP address (on or by deep packet inspection), but what I want, what I need is something that allows me to block based on which process is trying to communicate.
