Help with Firewall

in General


After a reboot bitdefender firewall is blocking all internet access. No programs can connect even though they are set to allow. I have to disable firewall to do anything.



I have tried uninstall and reinstall, they did not help. 



Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

    Found part of the issue. Every reboot it sets the "all applications" firewall rule to blocked. Somewhat annoying.

    advising a user which maybe using public wifi to allow port scans and use all connections as home seems dangerous... If the OP was using public wifi and visited a http page their information can be intercepted in plain text very easily

    Hello,


    The settings from above are for a Home connection and not for a public one. Even if the Firewall is set to Home/Office this does not mean that all connections are allowed.
