How to deal with temporary EXEs? #315

I'm using the latest simplewall in whitelist mode. I'm trying to install the Windows SDK and it creates an EXE in a temporary location that then automatically gets blocked by simplewall, and even if I allow it, the installation process dies because it cannot access the internet on the first request.

Is there a way to whitelist an EXE pattern?

No. Use custom rules.
