Use Bitdefender Firewall to block all internet access.

Hi,

Just spoke to support via chat and they said it could not be done.


I find this very surprising as every other AV suite (Eset, Kaspersky) I have used, allows this action.

Can I not even create a "block all" rule?


Thanks

    Any ideas, I found another query that is the same as this and it also went unanswered.

    I am currently trialing Bitdefender and part of this is how good support is.....

    Hello @Surfrat and welcome to the Community!

    I would set the default Firewall behavior to "block" and reset the rules, if any. You can also create a rule that applies to all applications, which you put on "block" and leave everything else on their default settings. It won't really block everything (Bitdefender processes and some from Microsoft, I think, will not be blocked), but it will be as close as it gets to blocking all internet access.
