rudrax Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 @kantry, may be you can disable bitdefender's firewall. If you can do that, enable windows firewall and instal WFC. Problem's solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudrax Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 @kantry, so Bitdefender doesn't come separately without firewall? If that is it, I would never recommend Bitdefender to anyone. They can't force people to use their firewall if one wants to use their AV. We have our own right to choose separate products for separate needs, no to compromise things for protection.

hihello Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 There is Bitdefender without firewall, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus http://www.bitdefender.com/solutions/antivirus-comparison.htmlBut just like any other internet security, Bitdefender Internet security, has firewall and it shows notification when it is disabled.Even eset smart security and kaspersky internet security show notification when one of their components are disabled.So, if we don't want firewall we have to just use antivirus program.(without internet security) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rok Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 @dcs18, is this really true.......ie100.net having a range of IPs starting with 74.125.0.1–74.125.255.254 ? Strange, what they do with so many IPs ?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rok Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Yes, we discovered it was connected to Google - check out the full picture, here.Hmm, that's OK, but i am still wondering why Google's safe browsing feature is firing so much of connections ? OK, for now, another way of preventing it is "Don't enable Chrome's safe browsing" feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudrax Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 dcs18, just a minor head up - it's 1e100.net not ie100.net. To be more accurate, it's *.1e100.net. Pardon me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkkdjb Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 @dcs18 :hi: wassup The reason i was posting in SB was bcoz with the 'Google Block' rule, i was having problem in posting @nsane ( that's only 1 issue) here r screenshots of my firewall rule: the issues : http://www31.zippyshare.com/v/83328601/file.html the video link above contains two parts (i) when the rule is enabled and (ii) when the rule is disablednotice the following issues in the VDO: :view: when enabled, i can't see the spoiler part @nsane, clicking the 'show' button does nothing. when enabled i can't see the comments in the RSU section,clicking 'show comments' just takes me to the top of the page. when enabled, i can't access some sites for e.g. in the illustration i can't access MLTS ( still trying out my other go to sites) when enabled, the google search engine is still functioning, i suppose that should not happen as google was blocked. otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs18 Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 :hi: rkkdjbHave not been able to reproduce the issue - on my systems, I can:--see the contents of a Spoiler after clicking the samesee and reply to commentsaccess MLTS and its child siteswhen enabled, the google search engine is still functioning, i suppose that should not happen as google was blocked. Combine the firewall suggestion at post # 50 with the Firefox options at post # 19 - you should be rid of most of the UDP calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudrax Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 rkkdjb Blocking those IP ranges will block google functionality completely. You can not use any of Google services with those IPs block. Moreover, if you are signed in to nsane with gmail, Google+ etc, I guess you may have some problem in this site too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs18 Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Oh yes, have been through all your screenshots and videos - no discrepancy found. Let me know if you would like to sort out the issue with a couple of recommendations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
