Please show files from the following folders:

C:\ProgramData\Fort Firewall\logs
C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\Fort Firewall\logs

WGZero05 commented 2 months ago

found it: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Fort Firewall\logs but the C:\ProgramData\Fort Firewall\logs is empty.

tnodir commented 2 months ago

Does the C:\ProgramData\Fort Firewall\FortFirewall.config file exist?

Can the user (which runs the FortFirewall.exe) open that file?

WGZero05 commented 2 months ago

Yes it is exists.

tnodir commented 2 months ago

Please check that Users group have read permissions in the C:\ProgramData.

It is by default: prog-data-perms

tnodir commented 2 months ago

Maybe you are running the FortFirewall.exe in some sandbox?

So it can not open files for reading in the C:\ProgramData\Fort Firewall?

WGZero05 commented 2 months ago

I tried to open the FortFirewall.exe as administrator and configure the Options and press Apply button and it works. No errors found.

p.s. I don't use any sandbox or mvware. I am using my personal computer, sir. I use 1 Operating system only.

I tried to open the FortFirewall.exe as administrator and configure the Options and press Apply button and it works.

It works, because admin has full access to that folder.

Strange, regular users should have read access to that folder too...

@WGZero05 Can you please show a screenshot of permissions?

As I did in https://github.com/tnodir/fort/issues/230#issuecomment-2054026713

tnodir commented 2 months ago

I have double-checked the issue:

installed new Windows 11 23H2
installed latest x64 version, as shown in the "Step by step installation video"
FortFirewall.exe works fine

Permissions to check: conf-perms

As I did in #230 (comment)

I am using Windows 10 Pro. Here's the screenshot.

Yeah this latest was installed on my computer.

As you can see on your screenshot, Everyone have Full access to the folder only. It’s not a default permissions of Win 10. You can add Users group with read permissions for folder and subfolders with inheritance.
