This should not be done

Fast and concise and very effective but unorthodox.:emoji_popcorn:

In/out traffic can be disabled...but Emsi servers are still connected in both ways? So...what actually is disabled in such case...and what is still enabled?
BTW...it's a bit weird "invention" because a lot of old firewall aps in the past offered it normally...OA also.

all these have network kill switch

spyshelter (tray context menu)
kaspersky
bitdefender
windows firewall
others all do

any firewall can be made to autoblock unknown process by default
create firewall block rule automated
nothing new
been around forever
like you say oa eis did it for years

wasted effort making rules until a process actual does something
unknown process that sits there and does nothing
why make firewall rule ?

emsisoft prevent sophisticated code injection attack used to bypass firewall rules
block entire network failsafe for worst case
only one two few other can do same

This is not how WhitelistCloud works at all. WhitelistCloud does not detect behaviors that “attempt to create new firewall rules or change the firewall status”. Furthermore, WhitelistCloud does not “protect the exposed Windows Firewall functions from malicious usage.”

Instead, what WhitelistCloud does is…

1. Continuously lets the end user and IT Administrators know if ONLY Safe items are running on the endpoint / network.

2. Creates a Windows Firewall rule if an unknown Not Safe item is detected, until the end user or IT Administrator approves of the item.

These are two very different things.

not new
products already do

emsisoft bb panel "Continuously lets the end user and IT Administrators know if ONLY Safe items are running on the endpoint / network."

products can do this forever by behavior monitor or even by default "Creates a Windows Firewall rule if an unknown Not Safe item is detected, until the end user or IT Administrator approves of the item."

functionality already exist

Wrong again. Maybe you misunderstand technology here.

always red button has bad function (like self destruction like in the movies )

Can you guys still do that while at the same time allow Emsisoft to receive updates?

No it doesn't block Emsisoft update functionality

Honestly I wouldn't know when I need to use that switch and if it would even help.
