    No particular reason, SSL was simply not configured for the website. Now it's done and should be working correctly over https too.

    What happens when a program, which have access to the internet, is updated? Some firewalls shows popups after updating that the exe-file was changed because changing exe is a risk.

    Nothing happens. The current version of TinyWall (2.0) does not monitor program files for changes.

    Many thanks for your reply. Is this feature planned in further Versions?

    Another question, I have a big Problem with Tinywall. I cannot access my printer.

    With beta all was okay, but not with relesed Version. Do you have an idea?

    It has already crossed my mind, and even though this is not a definitive answer, probably no.


    I do not own a network printer, so unfortunately I have no experience with that.

    Here are some ideas to get it to work:
    1. Try the automatic learning mode. Enter learning mode, print one document, then switch back to normal mode. Printing should work now.
    2. If some system services are involved in network printing, step 1. may not work. In that case, try to enable "File and printer sharing" in TinyWall's configuration, then try printing again.
    3. If 1 & 2 fail, open the Connections window first, show blocked connections, then try to print once and look at what got blocked. At the end whitelist the blocked things.

    Please let me know if and which of these steps worked.

    Here is a small update, 2.0.1.

    Changelog:
    - Added Brazilian Portuguese and Japanese translations, fixes to French translation.
    - Fix: Sporadic communication errors between TinyWall's controller and service.
    - Fix: License file does not open from the settings window.
    - Updated application database

    As you can see, code changes are minimal. The two most important things are the translation additions and updates, as well as the application database update. 2.0.1 includes new or updated support for Google Drive, IE of Win8, Microsoft Outlook 2003-2010, Windows Live, Pidgin and CCleaner. Of course, if you have automatic updates turned on you will also get the new database without installing 2.0.1, but then it my take some days because TinyWall does not check very often for updates.

    Sorry, that I have not described the problem with all details.:thumbd: Please excuse me!
    I have had checked the steps 1,2 and 3 before I posted my problem and the problem still is there.


    I have tested Tinywall on two other Computers in my home and they work perfectly with the Printer (Epson BX635FWD over LAN). But These Computers have Windows 7.
    The problem occured on my PC with Windows 8 Release Preview.

    Hope this Information helps

    So you only have printing problems on Windows 8. I'll try to look into it, I have Win8 RP myself but I have no network printer as I have mentioned. It would certainly help me a lot if you could tell me what ports are blocked (and what processes) while you try to print. That would narrow down the possibilities. Remember to open the Connections window of TinyWall before you try to print.

    Please take a look at the attachment. When I uninstall Tinywall (I have made it because I need the printer at the moment) it looks like the attachment.

    With installed Tinywall I cannot see the inklevel because there is no connection.
    I have allowed all Epson-Files during learning mode.

    Tomorrow I test again!

    That's just because of the tray area not being refreshed properly. Only one instance is running, if you hover over the old icon, it should disappear immediately. There is no need to uninstall 2.0.0 to install the update.

    Hello,
    Only 6 month old and the best firewall I see, Congrats!!
    I will try to help to make TinyWall better and better by reporting bugs and etc.

    Please keep the size tiny and Please do not bloatware this tiny, lovely Wall of protection ;)

    Regards.

    -----------------------------------

    1- Ok, I saw "DevelTool", What is it exactly? What can I do with it? I have no idea!
    2- Maybe a bug: I ran DevelTool to play with a bit and went to "Update Creator" tab then pushed that big "Create" button and error happens:
    (My OS is Windows7 Ultimate SP1 x64)

    Hi ultim,

    some new information about the network printer problem. I have tried another Win7-PC and its the same problem. So I can say its not only Win 8 problem.

    Allow outgoing = same problem
    Disable Firewall = same problem
    Uninstalling Tinywall = All is fine

    But this not the solution. I want to keep Tinywall.

    I have added two sreenshots. The three spool drivers beginning with "E" I have added. But in the connection screen I cannot see some of them.

    Do you have a solution? Please let me know when you need additional info.

    Hi Veteran,

    many thanks for your reply. File and printer I have had enbled, but it doesn´t solved the problme. The other posibilities I don´t have tried, because I don´t want to open too much in the Firewall.

    You're Welcome, buddy ;)
    I suggest you to try other options just for testing and see if they solve your problem or not; If enabling them helped you so then you know the problem comes from where and if they didn't help then leave them disable.

    I found a thing about TinyWall UI :argh:
    It's better to use a checkmark in front of Active mode so users know which mode is active right now. Please see the attached pic for more :D

    Untitled-1.jpg

    I think this is better :thumb: what do you think?

    One more thing: See the "Allow Outgoing icon", It's red. Red in many ways means don't allow, don't cross, don't go... maybe another color or icon for "Allow Outgoing icon"? ("Block all icon" is also not all right, Yellow/Orange color for blocking all?) what do you think?


    Something else about UI :ninja:

    Untitled0-1.jpg


    A bug or not a bug:
    On my laptop I have "Connectify" so it's been possible to share my Internet over WiFi so my brother can use it too.

    I have created Application Exception's list of my desired programs in TinyWall and everythings was ok but when I enabled connectify I noticed that my Application Exception's list in TinyWall gone! and I had to recreate my list! BUT after disabling connectify, surprisingly my original Application Exception's list is back!!

    Now, why enabling connectify make Application Exception's list go away and disabling connectify make it back?

    I don't know is it a bug or not o_O

    Anyway, I really love TinyWall. Thanks ultim :thumb: If I find anything else I'll post here :)
    [Sorry for my English]

    But you can already see on the tray icon what mode you are in. If you have the brick wall you know you are on the normal mode.
    I can see your point on the red icon though. Could be confusing I guess... Personally I havent found any use of allowing only outgoing, but I guess there are?

    You are Welcome my friend :)

    I know, but a tiny checkmark won't take a lot space and it's better in my opinion :rolleyes:

    Yes, I use them usually :cool: and It's important part of a firewall I guess :shifty:
