Simplewall: Shares for network drives effectively

Created on 6 Mar 2020  路  6Comments  路  Source: henrypp/simplewall

Programs that are based on network releases are recognized, but the rules are effective.
The problem is the double "\" this is only recognized as '\' or a '\' is done.

What problem do you describe?

The problem comes with network drives.

Example:
"\\server\path\putty.exe"

Simplewall interpretation:
"\server\path\putty.exe"

A *\* is missing from the rules, so it always says "file not found"
Because the path is not correct in the SimpleWall rule

Looks like a bug. Checking.

Can you add "\\server\path\putty.exe" into SW apps list manually?

If I write it into the "profile.xml" by hand or adjust the existing entry - it is displayed correctly in the Simplewall Gui but the entry does not work.

As soon as I start "putty" via the network drive, Simplewall comes back and wants to write a new rule. He doesn't recognize that there is already one.
