Hi there humans! Smile I have few questions about windows firewall. I know it even works at the boot time, regarding other firewall programs that start after the GUI init. Ive heard that you can set up windows firewall so well, that you cant break trough the protection. I think that is not true, because I have figured out that firewall blocks only incoming internet connections or requests, but not the outgoing. Which is the most bigger hole inside? Which port is that? I am sure that Windows Firewall is very easy task for defeating? Dont you guys think so?

Well, it all depends on, which sites are your favorite? Also, which program is your favorite. Torrents for example. If you are a serious downloader than you must use permissions inside the desired firewall to enable the particular torrent client functionality, right? And when client starts with the receiving of IP addresses that are seeding the desired torrent, automatically, the person from the other side can sniff inside your computer if he knows how, of course. How much more examples are required? Wink
