Services / App packages - filtering modes #72

Open SomeRandomCats opened 3 years ago

Would it be possible to have a checkbox in the Filtering mode section to enable filtering of Services / App packages, thus requiring them to ask for access like normal applications do?

Also, it would be dope if there was an option in the settings to apply pre-configured rules that exactly allow windows services to connect to specific DNS/Port required for them to work, and block any other activity, since svchost is basically a wh*re and windows services are hard to trust. This feature seems to be non-existent in any product I can find, and I would be happy to help with testing if and when the filtering mode applied to services and I could configure via prompts.

That should be the normal behavior anyways, Services / App packages should not gat internet access without permission.

Yes that would be great if I would have more free time i could look into such preset rules, but I don't, I mean they would need to be kept up to date etc...

Sorry, I will take a closer look at the rules-creation-prompts. Should they create specific rules based on the Service itself, or based on svchost?

Have you considered implementing a learning mode, that automatically creates rules based off the exact connection details? If so, then learning mode could be ran on a clean PC for 'x" hours and rules would be created for the precise activity Services (especially Windows ones) require to operate properly.

I really appreciate all the hard work you put into this product, and even though I'm not a coder, I can imagine it was quite extensive already. I hope I don't come off as un-appreciative, I just really like the product and imagine it would be even better with some tweaks. I imagine time is the greatest determining factor, over funding, but in the future when I get a little extra funds I plan on some sort of donation that hopefully shows my gratitude.
