[QUOTE="Galadrium, post: 962400, member: 91632"] It seems I have found the issue. The culprit is my current firewall, however I cannot find any setting to stop this from happening. Uninstalling it will make the IP block of MB's WFC work Installing it does not make it work Conclusively, the program is still in a buggy state. Only application level block and block-all internet access features work. I use Evorim Fire wall to do program blocks Looks like I need to find another alternative, but excluding Simplewall as that does not work. I will re-evaluate Tiny wall. In the end I just want to be able to be notified for any new programs that connect to the internet Also need a firewall that can do a "block-all-internet-access" mode/option and re-enable it And also be able to block IP addresses and entire IP ranges like MB's WFC. Edit: Tried Tiny wall, it does not have any notifications for when a new program attempts to connect to the internet, unlike Evorim Free Firewall and simplewall It does have some other nice features though like block LAN traffic exclusively and password protect your settings in Tiny wall. MB's WFC has a display notification feature but I have not yet able to get it triggered to see what it looks like It also doesn't have a "Block all internet access" feature for when I need to leave my PC afk and then just re-enable it when I am back.
