JosephKing 3 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I use a VPN software. Each time it launches it has a couple prompt by the interactive firewall. I tried to 'Create a rule and remember permanetly,' however even still the firewall with prompt for permissions. This scenario is not surprising because the external IP of the provider could change, maybe also the PID, and ruby.exe (maybe this gets created each time it launches in appdate/temp. I wanted to see if anyone has experienced this or has been able to make a permanent rule for VPN software. I suspect it is not possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itman 1,659 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Create a firewall rule to allow all inbound and outbound traffic from the executable associated the VPN. Then move it to the top of the existing rule set. If the VPN processing is dynamically creating randomly named child processes in %LocalAppData%\Temp directory and then attempting Internet connections from those processes, it would be impossible to manually create any Eset firewall rules for like activity. You only option then would be to switch the firewall to allow all outbound processing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephKing 3 Posted June 24, 2018 Author Share Posted June 24, 2018 Thank you itman. It is a dynamic program & external IP. I didn't think there was a way, but wanted to ask the community before I dismiss a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,070 Posted August 10, 2018 Administrators Share Posted August 10, 2018 What VPN software is it? We'd like to try to reproduce it in our lab and fix possible issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
