All installed apps cannot be blocked whether using inbound and outbound rules in the defender firewall. I tried many apps with same result. The old McAfee Firewall was working OK
I think there was other steps like ip address, port number, in the defender firewall that are not easy to detect for any user. These were automatically detected in the old McAfee firewall
in the other topic mcafee mod has posted a knowledge article about Firewall rules.
will post link here also;
at end of article it is mentioning how about to create inbound rules in Windows Firewall.
in section how to create inbound port rule there is a purple color section.
this note advises to use Custom since you are given all options present
just when i was thinking there should be an knowledge base article maybe this can be of help ?...................
The new firewall is useless. I have another thread about this and the moderator says it is now the new system. Time to ditch McAfee as their new firewall is not a firewall at all. It is all a joke. I have already gotten a trojen on my PC because of it.
