1. We block the complete traffic
2. Set up some rules
And then every time an unknown file/domain-name, ip-address or port appears, we start to research (look up for more details).
We want to know:
* Is internet access for the application necessary for our operation?
* Is this original and in the right position?
* (Relatively) trustworthy enough?
* What does it actually do or is need for?
And in the end, we look up these details on search-engines and services about these details. How would be a shortcut via clickable links which open the relative service-type with custom-service-URL queries in the web-browser?
Suggested solution
The integration of custom lookup services for:
* Websites (domains)
* IP addresses (IPv4/IPv6)
* Applications (filename, full path, possibly SHA1 hash)
* Ports
By lookup services, I mean websites which return information about a specific topic (domains, IP-addresses, files, ports) by search or query-URLs.
However, to avoid dictating which service the user has to use, we could allow them to define their own provider/service via custom-query with variable/placeholder in the/a settings page. Like this, a user could choose which provider they trust for their inquiries and use them then to look everything up.
Via SHIFT+LEFT-CLICK (via mouse or context-menu) on a Domain, IP-Address, Filename or Port in the SimpleWall application, the application would open the respective service-information via web-browser.
