Logging and creating rules or exceptions from log
By default, the ESET Firewall does not log all blocked connections. If you want to see what was blocked by the firewall, enable Network protection advanced logging in the Diagnostics section of Advanced setup under Tools > Diagnostics. If you see something in the log that you do not want the firewall to block, you can create a rule or an IDS rule for it by right-clicking on that item and selecting Don't block similar events in the future. Please note that the log of all blocked connections can contain thousands of items and it might be difficult to find a specific connection in this log. You can turn logging off after you have resolved your issue.
For more information about the log see Log files.
Use logging to see the order in which the firewall blocked specific connections. Moreover, creating rules from the log allows you to create rules that do exactly what you want. |
