- Extend 'Default Application behavior' to allow for User provided 'Direction' and 'Protocol' behavior or simply add new default ones as options, that will do too.
Example :
Settings : Default Application behavior :
- Ethernet [ Automatic ]
[ Allow All ]
[ Block All ]
…
[ Allow Oubound All ]
[ Allow Outbound TCP+UDP ] ( Eventually TCP only and TCP+UDP )
… or …
[ Block All Inbound ]
Automatically 'Direction' is set to 'Both' while most processes should be whitelisted only for Outbound or at least the user should have an option to change that behavior in 'bulk' and not manually editing all Rules one by one.
Automatically 'Protocol' is set to 'All' while most applications need only 'TCP' and eventually 'UDP', propose to have unified 'TCP+UDP' option as well. Currently the user must manually go rule by rule and change those.
It would be be great quality of life improvement for advanced users and it should not be that much of a general change.
This will cover 90% of most used apps. It's easier to edit the few that may need Inbound or other protocols for advanced users. By default leave it at as it is now on Allow All, just give us an easier way than editing rule by rule.
Thank you for your consideration.
