Default filter mode is "Auto-Learn", which auto-allows new programs.
So they have yellow triangle and "Allow" action in the Programs window.

Try to block them and double check.

If i block , it does not connect.So instead of auto learn being onauto allow it should be blocked first,just my 2 cents and only allowed by user interaction

OTOH, I've received several complaints from novice users, that nothing works after the Fort installation (when default mode was "Block, if not allowed"). :)

I set "Auto-Learn" by default to not block connections when you install on remote computer. Otherwise it becomes unreachable.

ok so i block first and allow later .if auto learn is set to allow first there should be no yellow triangle ,it already allowed the program through.
