Removed all rules from the Windows Advanced Firewallī. In my case I’ve removed all Windows Advanced Firewall rules, have disabled it using the “Windows Firewall with Advanced Security snap-in, and have disabled the Windows Firewall service. As I mentioned above, if you disable the Windows Advanced Firewall and stop the Windows Firewall service, applications, the OS, and installers cannot add enabling rules. I have never seen any evidence that it has been sidestepped – even by Microsoft. That’s actually a VERY solid and efficient firewall engine provided as part of Windows, whose development goes way back.
It’s actually a good thing that Sphinx uses the Windows Filtering Platform under the covers. Just think through how you would set up a rule to block *. for example.ģ. The by-name configuration management is where Sphinx really shines.
#Windows 10 firewall control vs comodo software
If you want to get really picky about what you allow particular software to contact, in this day and age of server banks (multiple mutable addresses for the same host name) that’s completely impractical. The Windows Advanced Firewall operates by IP address.
It puts events into the Security event log, which is clunky to deal with in an ongoing way.Ģ. The Windows Advanced Firewall UI doesn’t provide a good log from which you can see what has happened. If you’ve ever tried to set up a deny-outgoing-by-default configuration and manage it using the Windows Advanced Firewall interface, then you would know.ġ.
