[Question] Need help restoring pre-download behavior #1903

Closed Natix1 closed 3 weeks ago

Describe the question with as much detail as possible.

I have installed this software as I was tired with having to add 4 different rules in default windows firewall app just to open a port, and now I am left with most applications having no internet access. I only launched the app, tried adding a UDP rule and pressed enable filtering, and now even after multiple reinstalls of the app and PC restarts all my apps have no internet. I couldn't find anything in the windows firewall. I am also sure it's simplewall at fault. Note this is my first time using this software.

I simply want to restore app internet access and never touch this again

Thanks, Nathan

App version: v.3.8.4 Windows version: Windows 11 Home 23H2 (OS build 22631, 4391)

that because WF do not block access for ALL applications, in SW it simple as life, just watch notifications and press for allow/block, all you need you get, not easy?

Thank you for the helpful instructions to resolve the issue

But seriously, following your "all you need you get" l, the only thing I need is to never touch this awful project and you to be brutally murdered.
