Endless notifications using VPN

Open h0rn3z0r opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

I have been using this software for few months. I think it's best lightweight replacement for default WF interface and it does everything what I need. However, I encountered several issues while using it and here is one of them. The problem is I am getting spammed by endless number of popups while browsing internet through TunnelBear VPN.

1

I tried to click that switch next to "target port" but it doesn't help and it leads to lots of similar entries in firewall rules (which is difficult to remove one by one by the way):

2

I guess program ignores "local ports: *" rule cause all these rules differ only by local ports. So is this a limitation of WF or just WFN bug?

This is a known issue: http://wfn.codeplex.com/discussions/661890 Currently, I haven't found enough documentation to be able to properly handle these cases in WFN. :( So if you (or anybody else) has some knowledge on the "PortsInUse"-functionality, please contact me!

Okay, thanks for the answer. I will investigate that old repo at first before reporting new bugs in future.

Tried to contact you on CodePlex but it would not accept any valid CAPTCHA solution for registration

See if we can determine what task created a connection, instead of only pointing to taskhost.exe. https://wfn.codeplex.com/releases/view/631360

Mark Russinovich (author of SysInternals Suite) is probably capable of answering your questions if you can get him (or another MS dev) to respond. I would suggest posting somewhere around here:
