Hello, I have the free version of Comodo Firewall installed. I use it in “custom ruleset” mode.
My problem is Microsoft Sharepoint. I just want to allow it access the interrnet so I check the “remember my answer” tickbox and click “allow”. But in few days time a popup appears again. The reason seems to be the folder name that is constantly changing. For example:
If I grant the access to
C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\23.114.0530.0001\Microsoft.SharePoint.exe
then in a few days I’ll have to grant it again but this time the exe file is here:
C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\23.119.0606.0001\Microsoft.SharePoint.exe
Any tips how to handle this?
Ps: I post under “Help for v2” but I don’t know what the difference is between v2 and v3. I have the newest Comodo firewall installed, I think it’s 12.x or something, so way beyond v2 or v3.
Hello, and thank you for your reply. I don’t have CIS on my computer, only Comodo Firewall. This is a Windows 10 Pro and I’m not using anything other than Comodo. Plus there’s of course the mandatory Windows Defender Firewall and Virus & Threat protection running.
Hi. If you replace the numbers which design the file by * it should allow all your files of the same category.
Hence you must allow : C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive*\Microsoft.SharePoint.exe
In my answer the \ before * disappears I don’t know why
Hello, and thank you! I actually added this rule just moments before your reply and thought that I’ll see if this works in few days, when the folder name changes yet again. It’s great to get a confirmation that lthis might actually do the trick! I wouldn’t say this topic’s solved quite yet, but I’ll see how this goes…
