At university, bulk data transfers are often done via torrent. Until recently, I used ESET internet security premium. I did data transfers using Tixati, and a local tracker.
Now, I just installed ESET premium. Immediately when I installed the program, ESET started blocking access to all torrent trackers.
Attempted fix:
Set ESET firewall to "Interactive mode". Result: Even if i order ESET to allows the traffic, ESET still blocks all access to all torrent trackers, without excepiton.
Set ESET firewall to "learning mode". Result: ESET still blocks all access to all torrent trackers, without excepiton.
Manually add Tixati to ESET excepitons, Result: ESET still blocks all access to all torrent trackers, without excepiton.
Manually add OpenVPN to ESET excepitons, Result: ESET still blocks all access to all torrent trackers, without excepiton.
Manually all trackers to exception list. Result: ESET still blocks all access to all torrent trackers, without excepiton.
Reinstall ESET & start over. Result: ESET still blocks all access to all torrent trackers, without excepiton.
Reinstall ESET with last known configuration (saved to .xml file). Result: ESET says it was unable to import anything at all. ESET still blocks all access to all torrent trackers, without excepiton.
ESET USED to be a good program, with max security while requiring almost no effort from the user. What changed?
