View Full Version : Need: Increase App filtering Rule limit

I'm having again issues with maxing out my Application filtering rules.

I think it's coming more common, as almost every application wants to connect to the Internet these days (and I have plenty of work apps).

Is it possible to increase the amount of application filters that one can have, without seriously degrading the performance of LnS?

Even double from the current limit would be really useful.

Hi halcyon,

Could confirm you are really using on a regular basis 128 different applications that try to connect ?
Otherwise maybe there is a problem in the cleanup mechanism, and I would prefer to fix that before.

Thanks,

Frederic

Hi Frederic,

Yes, I have installed and regularly use over 128 applications that try to connect to the Internet.

I'm a developer/educator so I have to use a lot of different software.

I have over 70 Internet specific software alone installed.

In addition to that, I have tons of software that try to "phone home".

Also, all of my games try to connect to the network. Not to mention many system services.

In fact, almost all software these days that I have to install, tries to phone home :(

So yes, my 128 slots are all maxed out.
