Tinywall stop icmp8/22/2023 ![]() I saw you act quite agressive in this thread when you were asking advice about and were given good advice: Thank you!Ĭlick to expand.Now these advices from me! I ask several question here, can someone please go through the post and try to answer all of them. The state on all these ports are Listening - why listen when i don't want or need them to run? - or do I? Are these ports somehow needed for Chrome to work? What Exactly are these ports, how can I determine if i need them or not, and how can i block them? If I can block them, I don't want to ever see them in this list again. I don't want anything going in or out that I don't specify, the PC should look and act as if it's not connected the the internet at all save when I tell it to open Chrome. There are a lot of ports most "duplicates?" Two lsass.exe's many Services.exe's and scvhost.exe's, many System(4)'s and a few Wininit.exe's The only one in the list I know is the Chrome.exe I manually set a rule for so I could access the internet. If these ports are Blocked, then How can they be open? This is confusing and misleading to me. there is also an option to kill leading me to believe these ports are open and active with outgoing connections. Yet, if I right click on any of the ports, there is an option for UnBlock. I see under Show Connections if I have Open Ports checked, I get a list of what I presume to be, Open ports (open meaning unblocked IMO). Take it for a test drive and see for yourself.I'm using Windows 8.0 with Tinywall. ZoneAlarm Free Firewall is popular for a reason – it’s effective, powerful and feature-packed for something that’s free. You can’t use Windows Firewall and ZoneAlarm simultaneously, for example. Note: Before you download ZoneAlarm, you need to know that you can only have one firewall and one antivirus running at a time. Other privacy features include anti-tracking, private browsing and Facebook privacy scanning and limited online backup. If you trust it well enough with your information and it’s enabled, it claims to provide you with free credit monitoring and victim recovery assistance. What ZoneAlarm has that other free firewalls don’t is optional identity protection. It updates itself when new threats are detected. ZoneAlarm’s real-time monitoring relies on what the company calls its DefenseNet system. It also has a Stealth Mode that makes your system invisible to hackers over the internet and an option for public Wi-Fi protection. Similar to the other firewalls in this list, it monitors your applications for malicious activity and controls their incoming and outgoing network traffic. ZoneAlarm is a free, downloadable firewall and antivirus system that is highly configurable and effective against many kinds of cyberattacks.
