FabioR2021 0 Posted December 5, 2021 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 Posted December 5, 2021 ESET is also not asking to add a exception to the rules. It just blocks everything automatically.
Administrators Marcos 5,451 Posted December 5, 2021 Administrators 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.
