[Feature request] Summary of removed obsolete items #331

Closed skycommand closed 2 weeks ago

skycommand commented 3 weeks ago

Hello. 😊

It'd be great if Fort Firewall could log the "obsolete" rules it deletes. I find that sudden obsolescence of a firewall rule would need investigation. It could mean:

  1. An app updated itself and installed the new version in a new folder. I must run the application and redefine the rule.
  2. An app has been uninstalled accidentally.
  3. Disk corruption has caused the loss of a binary file that I once trusted and allowed Internet access.

I believe logging is both cheaper to implement (compared to implementing a UI) and more compatible with the task scheduler, which runs silently.

Hello.

Fort already logs about obsolete app path. But it's not written to logs by default, because Options: "Log debug messages" is turned off.

Let me change the logging level to Info (from Debug)..

Fixed in v3.14.10.

Okay, I'm on 3.14.10, and I have no idea how I log those entries.

tnodir commented 2 weeks ago

Open MyFort window, click on Profile link, click on logs folder.

skycommand commented 2 weeks ago

Oh, I see. I went to My Fort and click on Logs instead. Who would have thought the Logs button is the wrong place to look for logs?

OK, let me to add "Service Logs" link too..
