ZoneAlarm Free Firewall problem

[Morvotron]

Hello everyone! I'm posting to check if any of you may help me..

I installed a while ago ZoneAlarm Free Firewall and since then i've been having lots of issues with my League of Legends Client. When a new game is about to start, it won't. It just doesn't. Now if i go to the firewall and turn it off, then i can play online. Alright, you may be thinking "just add an exception". I did. League of Legends opens way too many processes for the client and i added every single of them, it still happens. Sometimes i can enter to the game, sometimes i can't..


Any ideas?

Does ZoneAlarm have something like a "training mode"? So that you start the game once and it then sets all exceptions automatically?

That's exactly what it should do.. Still, the game keeps getting blocked.. I'm about to uninstall this software, i'm going crazy

Thanks for the recommendation. Is this complement better than actual firewall softwares?

Gives you control over the windows firewall. Also see this guide that I made, you can use it to compliment....

Tomorrow night im installing Comodo Free Firewall. I'll try and tell you guys how it works. If not, trying Tinywall. Thanks everybody.

I remember that I solved that problem with putting ZoneAlarm firewall settings to the maximum.
That way, whenever a process wanted to start, ZoneAlarm ask for your permission and created a rule and worked perfectly. When I did it as seems logical (ie as you've done), the soft that needed specific ports to run did not work
