[QUOTE="Special, post: 931657, member: 51164"] Hi!, not sure if my title is accurate or maybe too "click-bait", but I need help on this, well not really help but more of a request. Version 3.36 of WizTree was released not to long ago, and for me this version "phones home" (firewall will ask you if you want to allow "some" connection) despite having all kind of options in WizTree like "check for updates" turned off. Previous versions like 3.35 do not have this issue. I can reproduce this but the developer cannot, can others chime in here and tell me if their firewall does the same? If others get similar results it could help the developer fix the issue or just prove that I'm crazy! This is going to be an obviously question towards those here who have a super tight firewall already and don't just allow random outbound connections without a rule, so basically everyone. :) And for what it's worth I use the portable x64 version.
