Simplewall: SW still not 1.42 blocking traffic through VPN

[MCHALAO]

I am sorry to report, pal, that simplewall (1.42) is still not filtering traffic when used with VPN software. For example, when using a VPN program, I can easily browse the Web. SimpleWall lists the VPN program, which though, for navigating anonymously, I have to give it permission (that is, mark it, the VPN executable, as allowed). This time I used Simplefirewall default settings with White list mode on, but, sorry, the problem persists.

By the way, have you ever heard for evorim.com firewall? Its latest version can block VPN traffic. May you could get some programming help for solving the problem from them?

What's the current state of this?

Since 2.1b I'm getting these entries in simplewall.log:

D:\programs\someprogram (Computer\User) [Remote: (IPv6-address):43611] [Local: (IPv6-address):57543] (UDP) WindscribeIPV6FirewallSublayer [Out]
C:\windows\system32\svchost.exe (NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE) [Remote: (IPv4-myRouter):53] [Local: (IPv4-myPC):54121] (UDP) OpenVPN [Out]

Furthermore, my torrent client gets blocked on seemingly random occasions when going through the VPN, which causes the downloads to fail after some time.

@ltGuillaume, it's normal OpenVPN blocks DNS, WIndscribe disables IPv6 and this is not depends on simplewall settings.

About torrent client: try uncheck Firewall option in Winscribe app.
