Paranoid Mode, How To Keep Decisions

bitter150

If running BD firewall in 'Paranoid mode' it asks everytime an application xyz request internet access.

After choosing 'Allow' or 'Block' application is allowed or blocked :rolleyes: .

How to keep user's decision for next time running the application xyz ?

(It should be used for individual training of firewall settings.)

Thx...

You can confirm in Application Rules if they're being saved, or is it asking over and over for the same application, i.e. settings not being saved when checked as allow? Run it that way for about 1 week (if you like) to see if it establishes allowed status for those apps.

Others here may have some thoughts, as I really don't use that feature.

Thanks for help !

I am thinking about running firewall in 'Paranoid mode' for some weeks for detecting 'phone home'-applications

Is there a list of trusted applications by BD firewall?

You're welcome

You're right, it could take a couple of weeks to get things sorted:

As far as a Whitelist, yes, it allows those automatically when in Autopilot mode: http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=140456

Just in case, or a FYI
