[QUOTE="cryogent, post: 983483, member: 55782"] Hi, I thought it was time to clean up the rules created by Windows firewall in Outbound and according to what I read "[URL='https://www.hardenwindows10forsecurity.com/']here[/URL]" it says that the vast majority of the rules created for Microsoft services/ Apps can be disabled without any problems or affecting the stability of the OS.... or at least that's my understanding from what I read. At one point someone said they installed SysHardener just to save the rules they created but I saw that between what SysH and Configure defender (included in H_C) has rules for, Configure defender has more rules applied, especially when LoLbins are enabled as well. In the past I've used Binisoft's WFC but didn't get on too well with it and the browsers I was using (even though I'd put them on the exclude list) plus I wouldn't be helped by a firewall that was too chatty (I want to use it on my daughter's pc too). - Is there a dedicated site where I could be guided to do them manually? - Is that tutorial above ok? - Is the firewall in WVSX ok? Although it would be overkill to run it on the configuration I have now ( H_C + KSCF) but it tempts me. - The firewall in Symantec unmanged is ok? I found it a bit "weird" - feeling it doesn't give me much choice ( I'll install it again to see if it still feels the same). - is there a firewall router with IDS/IPS that has a built-in wifi and a throupout of at least 1.5 Gb?
