[QUOTE="sepik, post: 839884, member: 74435"] I've tested several firewalls. Was quite interesting to see Zonealarm firewall log files. During boot-up ZA blocked many connections to google servers and microsoft servers. Maybe those connections are for google update and windows update [B]OR[/B] some telemetry things? Comodo firewall logs does not show anything compared to Zonealarm. Years ago some member at wilderssecurity tested this with wireshark. Was kinda interesting to see how connections are made before windows own firewall is even started. Malware can do the same and you're not even aware of that. That's why i don't like software firewalls that rely on windows own firewall driver. Kindest regards, -sepik [/QUOTE]
