How To Let A File Pass The Firewall?

Daffy

I am playing a game called Lineage 2 and the most important file to start the game (l2.exe) is blocked on my total security 2013.

How can i make this file not to make alerts/not to get blocked in firewall?

You should be able to right click the system tray icon for Bitdefender and turn on Game mode.

It is supposed to turn on automatically but I only have 1 game out of 6 that actually works.

Or you can open Bitdefender and go to settings, firewall,Application rules,add rule and browse to file.

Good Luck !

Hi again Daffy

Try adding .exe file to the firewall Exclusions http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?showtopic=36066 see also this one http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?showtopic=35502so

Check to see if Game Mode is on in your Settings, top of console, Settings/General. It should load wherever you play a game. Can also be right clicked from the system tray icon.

Hope this gets you going

Hi Daffy,

Maybe you have to add more than just the file mentioned in your 1st post to Exclusions, both to Firewall and Antivirus. This link is only for example sake, but is what a member had to include to get his to run: http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=123708

Also, just for information sake, if you disable the Firewall, or, and then try also disabling On-Access Scanning & Active Virus Control, to see if you can get the game to play?

Thanks,

Columbo
