ESET Internet Security Firewall seriously malfunctioning


Recommended Posts

I have 5 ESET Internet Security licenses on 5 Windows 10 computers A couple of days ago, after the update, one of the computers started having problems:

1. Kee (a firefox module) cannot connect locally to main app KeePass

2. Filezilla FTP Server administration interface cannot connect locally to server

3. Filezilla FTP Server allows data connections only from one specific IP. There is a corresponding rule in ESET Firewall to allow that IP to connect to the server. But it stopped working too.

After reading the forums here I did some troubleshooting and noticed some things:

The UI is different on the other (working) PCs than the malfunctioning one.

WORKING PC:

BAD PC:

ESET_Update_Bad.jpgESET_Network_Bad.jpg

 

Clicking the troubleshooting I can see Keepass and Filezilla Blocked

ESET_2_Trouble_Filezilla.jpg

 

But when I click the "Unblock" button I get an error

Also, when I try to export the Firewall Rules, again I get an error:

Before I try to uninstall and reinstall ESET, is there something else i should try?

Thanks!

EIS 16.2.13 did not solve the problem for me, still the firewall is not working properly blocking the internet access, where I can download version 16.1.14 64bit ?

It took 20+ hours for my post to be approved. In the meantime I found out that Internet Security was blocking OpenVPN too and I couldn't connect to my office. So I uninstalled-reinstalled it and now it seems to be working.

Disappointing.... 😞

Does switching to the pre-release update channel in the advanced setup make a difference? If not, please carry on as follows:

  1. Enable advanced logging under Help and support -> Technical support
  2. Reproduce the issue
  3. Stop logging
  4. Collect logs with ESET Log Collector and upload the generated archive here.

    Actually you posted yesterday at 18:15 CEST, ie. shortly after work hours. It is normal that posts are approved within 24 hours during work days although mostly it doesn't take longer than a few minutes.

      Where to find this pre-release update channel in advanced setup ?

      Ok i found it but now its even worse. Every half hour the firewall blocks the entire internet and only a network card reset restores the internet. I want to download version 16.1.14 because in this version everything worked and use until you fix it. This is very annoying

      Please follow these instructions since there's no reason why you should continue having firewall issues with v16.2.13. If v16.2.13  didn't help, then even downgrade should not help so further investigation is needed.

      1. Enable advanced logging under Help and support -> Technical support
      2. Reproduce the issue
      3. Stop logging
      4. Collect logs with ESET Log Collector and upload the generated archive here.

      The latest v16.0.27 can be downloaded from https://forum.eset.com/files/file/116-eset-security-16027/.  However, we strongly recommend that you cooperate and supply logs as requested. Once v16.0 reaches EOL, it will be upgraded to the latest version. It's better to check the logs now then run into issues later.
