It works on its own. Windows Firewall is disabled.

I installed simple wall and when I right click install filters and install them, I lose my internet connection until I uninstall them again.

Normal behavior. Now you should allow your desired programs to connect the Internet.

Was not sure how to do that. The wiki page isn't that helpful.

Close your browser. As soon as you open it once again it will try to connect the Internet, then simplewall should detect your browser and a pop up or notification style msg asks you to ignore or allow.

Tried that a few times and never get a popup. Will Ublock block the popup?
Only way I have found is to set the mode to blacklist, then Edge will open but still do not get a popup.
Screen shot is before switching mode to blacklist.

The popup to ask or block should appear. Maybe a bug. Try uninstalling and reinstalling.

Looks like a bug, hopefully the dev fixes it in future version.

Need to polish my glasses as this one escaped me. Interesting enough to give it a test and I like that the developer is still active with it after soon 2 year since the first release.

Did the developer stop coming to this forum thread?

He's probably busy with some other works.

Try this:
1. Stop any A/V program.
2. Restart computer.

Just installed it in my win 10 VM and it works fine there. It just doesn't like my system I guess.

Please try stable version 2.1.4, and tell me working it or not.

Just for your knowledge, 2.1.4 will not work notifications on win10 rs3, 2.2 Beta worked as well.
