Is there a way to configure Comodo so a program only has outbound access to a particular domain or a couple of domains? The program should not be able to access any other locations except for those domains. Is this possible?
Thank you!
Quite possible. Take a look at this thread for some additional reading on the mechanics. Then, when you come to apply your own rules, you can replace the IP addresses with domain names. As an example, lets imagine you want to allow firefox to access www. yahoo. com but not www. google. com.
Application rule:
Application Name - firefox.exe
Action - Block
Protocol - TCP
Direction - OUT
Source Address - ANY
Destination Address - www. google. com or create a Network Zone containing the domain names you wish to block
Source Port - ANY
Destination Port - ANY or A Port Set with ports 80 and 443
Application Name - firefox.exe
Action - Allow
Protocol - TCP
Direction - OUT
Source Address - ANY
Destination Address - ANY, www. yahoo. com or create a Network Zone containing the domain names you wish to allow.
Source Port - ANY
Destination Port - ANY or A Port Set with ports 80 and 443
For these rules to function correctly, the block rule must be placed before the allow rule. You must also ensure the Windows DNS Client Service is running, without this the ability to use domain names will be unavailable.
I’d also make sure the firewall is running in Custom Policy mode and the Alert Frequency Level is set to high or very high.
