As mentioned previously, this is not a solution I use so @wat0114 may be more helpful here. If you want to investigate on your own you could try...
:D Happens to us all. I agree though that if DNS Client service is enabled extra rules would need to be added to allow DNS traffic to a users DNS...
Agreed. Thank you to everyone looking to maintain this software. I can't and don't want to imagine using a windows PC without sandboxie <3
I don't use this solution either for the record. @wat0114 Is suggesting a solution to "allow" svchost access to only Microsoft addresses so that...
BITS is used for more than just windows updates, so blindly allowing all BITS traffic to all destinations without knowing the content of a BITS...
Also remember folk's, anti-virus is often trivial to bypass and is therefore not an additional layer of security, so make sure you uninstall it....
Rasheed already stated his setup successfully prevented adobe from updating via BITS, so maybe you have your answer, layers of security. The...
It may be that Comodo firewall blocks applications from creating BITS jobs if they're denied internet access? Testing with Adobe Acrobat Pro DC...
Adguard also works and may be a better fit, just remember they have differences. Pi-Hole is local to your LAN. You have the ability to whitelist...
Although DNS blocking has it's limitations, something like pi-hole should help across the majority of the web. It does tend to fall short when it...
o_O It seems you either didn't understand my post or chose to ignore it. Especially this bit: I don't care if you don't have the time or don't...
Your ideas of how a computer should be used are irrelevant to the discussion of whether something is possible or not. It's like me arguing that...
Updates can be installed offline in a number of ways.. Search "windows 10 updates offline" on google. As mentioned, you can pick any NTP server in...
Can you give me an example of telemetry Microsoft can collect through any firewall o_O? Preventing data exfiltration in the event of a...
I don't expect an official answer at all. I'm simply wondering how you formed your opinion as you seem pretty adamant that "you cannot block...
Both answers to that question say you can block telemetry with windows firewall? The first opens with: The actual answer to your question is...
Could you (or anyone else) expand on this point a little? I see this mentioned a lot but don't think I've ever seen a source for where this...
It should probably be an optional feature.. Optional because non-tech folk may find it frustrating to be prompted again and again for the same...
Well that's good news, thanks for confirming. I'll investigate further with my setup to see what prevents the capture here :thumb:.
Thanks David. Everything I'm reading indicates Windows 7 logging behaves differently in regards to DNS. Can you confirm you successfully tested...
If you have a test system I'd be interested in your results. With DNS Client Service running do you get the PID of svchost only or the actual...
I was wondering how you deal with DNS Client doing the majority of lookups on Windows 7 systems via svchost? Can you still correctly link DNS...
I was wondering if there was a way to enable/disable all hotkeys without going through each and selecting none+none? I found rare cases where BRun...
I think this may be poorly worded by mcafee and should read "suspicious incoming packets". They're likely a result of connections initiated...
Being upfront, I personally wouldn't use questionable third party websites for security software.. If you're really keen on trying it I suggest...
Separate names with a comma.
