ESET Insiders cutting_edgetech 25 Posted June 3, 2021 ESET Insiders Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) Eset Firewall is not working for me either in Interactive Mode after updating to Eset version 14.1.20.0. I'm not sure if this bug affects the other modes. The problem only occurs when an application updates; Eset does not detect changes have occurred to the application that has updated. Eset gives no prompt informing the user that changes have occurred to the application that has updated. Then when trying to use the application that has updated again, Eset silently blocks that application from accessing the Internet. This has happened to me with all application that have updated so far, Firefox, Waterfox, Torrent Clients, etc.. In order to fix the problem I had to go to advanced firewall rules, and delete the rule for the applications that updated from Eset. Then I had to try using the application again to see if Eset would give me a prompt again for the updated application's attempt to access the Internet. If Eset still was unable to detect the application's attempt to access the Internet, then I had to reboot my system. Eset was then able to detect the application's attempt to access the Internet and gave me the option to create a new firewall rule for the application. I'm using Windows 10x64 Pro 20H2, Eset version 14.1.20.0. Edited June 3, 2021 by cutting_edgetech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does switching to the pre-release update channel and updating the program to v14.2 make a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enabled prerelease updates and installed Eset Smart Security Version 14.2.10.0, but it may be a while before I know if that fixed the problem. I just updated all the applications on my machine yesterday, and I will have to wait until there are application updates to install before I can see if installing prerelease updates fixed the problem.

Administrators Marcos 5,074 Posted June 3, 2021 Administrators Share Posted June 3, 2021 Should the problem persist, please generate an ekrn dump via the adv. setup -> tools -> diagnostics -> create when an interactive dialog is supposed to pop up and then collect logs with ESET Log Collector.

angelspire 0 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Same problem. Interactive mode doesn't work. No notifications are shown. Learning mode creates new rules and those are favored, but Interactive mode effectively = policy based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have interactive alerts enabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravirn 0 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 This isn't fixed for me either. With the normal release I would get interactive firewall prompts for the first day but as soon as I put my computer to sleep and then wake it up they would stop. I updated Firefox and a game and they wouldn't connect to the internet since it wouldn't give me a prompt about things changing and I had to restart to get the prompts. I tried uninstalling and re-installing and that made no difference. I then switched to pre-release and then I was able to put my computer to sleep and still get interactive firewall prompts the next day after waking it up. But so far every time by the third day after putting it to sleep I no longer get interactive firewall prompts until I restart. Gamer mode is paused and Interactive Alerts is enabled. This isn't an issue I've had before with using ESET for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betatesta 0 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Same problem here with version 14.2.19.0 under Windows 10 Pro (Build 1909)! I tried with gaming mode off and checked notification configuration to no avail. I deleted every rule, but nothing pops up in interactive mode. On another machine with version 14.1.20.0 under WIndows 10 Pro (Build 1909) this does not happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
