[QUOTE="wat0114, post: 1100293, member: 91306"] Yes for safe applications it's necessary to allow them to connect out when they need to, but for a malicious process, a firewall configured at default-deny can and should block the outbound attempt by the malicious process, thereby at least least preventing exfiltration of your personal data. The key to setting up the firewall is to use: Default-deny. Block all attempts by all programs, and create rules only for safe programs that require outbound comms. [/QUOTE]
