I was very pleased to see that Vista offers a 2-way firewall capability
built-in to the OS, and, on the whole, I have just about managed to find my
way around setting it up properly (turning OFF outbound connections by
default!)
My question is this:-
with outbound connections turned off by default now (for safety), I need to
create specific rules for any application to which I want to grant internet
reachability. Many vendor apps contain confusingly named executables which
can run in parallel and require such access - I cannot find any
logging/monitoring capability in the Vista Firewall that will tell me when a
given PROCESS is trying and failing to connect to the internet - this
information would be essential when trying to debug allowing access to a
given .exe
any ideas?
