when in i leave my computer running overnight i like to set fw to block all, but when i come back in the morning, i some times forget i have done this and spend the next 5-15 minutes trying to figure out why my internet connection is down.
– please change the icon in the task tray when the fw is in block all mode
i use a browser/email sand box (sand boxie) that generates a lot of temp files that are flagged to pending. i’ve tried adding the prog & the temp directory to my own safe files to no avail. After a few days the fw starts hogging resources and slowing computer operations. if i run a purge of pending all those temp files go away and the firewall stops hogging resources.
– please add option to purge pending on startup
