[QUOTE="Kardo Kristal, post: 414160, member: 24959"] Hello, When I installed Windows 10 then I noticed that something is using network bandwidth all the time (even when browser is closed). I installed Glasswire and saw that [B]Host Process[/B] is downloading [B]1 MB within 4 minutes[/B]. It means that it downloads [B]15 MB in 1 hour[/B]. [IMG]http://malwaretips.com/attachments/glasswire_1-png.66718/?temp_hash=6448d2142b1a7fc050519e5d25195cf6[/IMG] I tried to block connection with Glasswire but then I saw that it blocks connection in browser too. Finally I tried to block only outbound (outgoing) connection with Windows built-in Firewall and it worked. :) 1. Open [B]Windows Firewall with Advanced Security[/B] 2. Create new [B]outbound rule[/B] 3. Now you must enter the following IP (remote): [B]65.52.108.33[/B] 4. Check: [B]Domain, Private and Public[/B] 5. Set action to: [B]Block connection[/B] [IMG]http://malwaretips.com/attachments/firewall_1-png.66720/?temp_hash=6448d2142b1a7fc050519e5d25195cf6[/IMG] [IMG]http://malwaretips.com/attachments/firewall_2-png.66721/?temp_hash=6448d2142b1a7fc050519e5d25195cf6[/IMG] [IMG]http://malwaretips.com/attachments/firewall_3-png.66722/?temp_hash=6448d2142b1a7fc050519e5d25195cf6[/IMG] ...When it is done then you can see under Glasswire that connection is terminated. :) It stopped that connection and I can still use browser. This method can save few gigabytes (bandwith) per month. [IMG]http://malwaretips.com/attachments/glasswire_2-png.66719/?temp_hash=6448d2142b1a7fc050519e5d25195cf6[/IMG] [I]I guess that this IP checks some kind of license every few seconds (when you look at host name in Glasswire).[/I] I hope it helps to save your network bandwidth. :) Regards, Kardo [/QUOTE]
