Simplewall: v 3.0.1 : Block by default Microsoft apps/updates [in-built fix]

[dunocijim]

v 3.0.1 you have block outlook.com and live.com address default on simplewall !!!

You don't have "Allow M$ Applications" checked in the settings.

File - Settings - Rules - Allow M$ Applications.

Yes, by default this is blocked!

Honestly, blocking MS update servers by default & hiding in settings & not showing in filters list and not mentioning it on SW app update is an awful move. I've just spend 2 days trying to find out what was causing this on 3 pcs all running sw and I finally found this. I'd urge you to by default allow ms update servers for users to get security updates else you're leaving people open to unpatched risks in windows.

Being a newbie ... I would like to propose to make a distinction between update-services and M$ Applications.
If possible in SimpleWall.
All or nothing (and moreover quite hidden) is not so good.
SimpleWall is doing a quite responsible job ... that should always be considered.

Open your eyes. Seriously.

First ... as said ... I'm no expert, but just use SimpleWall.
Second ... for that responsible task of firewalling I don't use betas,
and therefore interpreted fredgolightly's post in the way of my post.

You're so kind. Seriously.

auto login of outlook blocked have to use "allow M$ update servers"
(Allow M$ Applications.) already allowed
