'Just this time' connection?

Hi, Frederic,
If I remove iexplorer.exe from application list of LnS and start it to open an URL, a popup will jump out and I select 'just this time' and allow it. However, there will be several (~5-7) popups asking my verdict of iexplorer.
So, my question:
Why are there so many occurences of popups when I select 'just this time'? (i.e., what's the definition of 'this time' of LnS?)
Does LnS prompt every process of the tcp hand-shaking?
thanks in advance.

 

Hi nuser,

Look 'n' Stop checks for the authorization each time the application creates a socket.
If you select "Just this time", you will get the prompt each time a socket is created.

Regards,

Frederic

 

thanks a lot, Frederic,
May I am wrong: to my very limited knowledge of socket, there are only 2 'socket creating' events when browsing a website (for DNS and the webserver). Why does LnS prompt 5 times when I open google.com with iexplorer.exe?
I am sorry to insist, since this is somehow out of the topic of LnS firewall.

 

Factor in the browsers simultaneous connections to web server...

 

Also sometimes several DNS requests are sent to different DNS servers.
