[Question] How are DLL's blocked? #1750

Closed ghost closed 4 months ago

ghost commented 5 months ago

I only see EXE files in Packet Log and never DLL files. Would I see it on Packet Log if a DLL file tried to access network? Wouldn't it still have to go through an executable file? If so, then what is the point of DLL blocking? How exactly does DLL blocking work?

DLL files are loaded by EXE only and execute it's request (if expected), in this way what is not understand?
