simplewall - A tool to configure Windows Filtering Platform

[henrypp]

I like more the way it was, with uppercase letters.

Got a fair amount of system alerts myself. Had to disable notifications for it to stop.

It's a bug, now fixed. Update to 2.0.11b and remove lowercase "system" from the list, filters does not recognize this process in lowercase!

PS: also fixed special rules for apps did not working, now all is A-Ok!

@henrypp Can you list the application in alphabetical order? It's a pain in the ass to find anything the way they are listed now.

Problem is that I don't want to add more extensions, you know, in general terms more software more avenues for malware to get you, lol. Increased attack surface. Maybe the problem is in feedly.com end.

Yeah, i don't like it either because these extension need access to all websites you visits but i just wanted to try it and see if it was app specific issue or in general.

I am trying a windows 10 store app atm called Newsflow. We will see how that goes.

My RSS is strictly verified by W3C and all http headers print alright, maybe extension have a fail?

Not an extension fail cause I don't even use own at all, lol.
I use feedly: organize, read and share what matters to you. to grab all my rss feeds. Even so, feedly.com seems to not like henrypp+ rss feeds (https://www.henrypp.org/rss.xml). Need to investigate.

I noticed something new, for me.

Is the file rules_config.xml generated by simplewall.exe? Because I don't see it in the portable packages.

 

[henrypp]

Is the file rules_config.xml generated by simplewall.exe?

Yes, it is internal rules configuration.
