FabioR2021 0 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 ESET firewall is blocking STEAM. I already added Steam to the exception list, both for inbound and outbound connections, but still can't connect to it. I can only connect to it with the ESET firewall disabled, which poses a risk, as I wanted to play a MMO, and can't play it with the firewall disabled. Version is 14.0.22.0, Windows 7, 64 bits. The network inspector is disabled, and I tried all of the four modes. Still can't connect. Already contacted support two times. No answer. I need help.

FabioR2021 0 Posted December 5, 2021 Author Share Posted December 5, 2021 ESET is also not asking to add a exception to the rules. It just blocks everything automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 4,718 Posted December 5, 2021 Administrators Share Posted December 5, 2021 In automatic mode the ESET firewall blocks all non-initiated inbound traffic and allows all outbound traffic. If an application acts as a server that users connect to from the Internet, you have several options: 1, Create a permissive bi-directional rule for the application manually. 2, Use learning mode to create the necessary rule(s) automatically. 3, Use the firewall troubleshooting wizard to unblock a recently blocked communication.
