    Is there a way to have the auto-learn option always on? I want it to permit all the traffic and then check manually what I want to block. Thanks in advance.

    Sure, disable the Options: "Auto-learn seconds" setting. It's a 1 minute by default.

    I came from WFC, uninstalled and restored WF rules to default. In Hyper-V VM, I made "termservice" trackable and have the corresponding program rule. However, I can no longer remote in, even with filter disabled. If I disable WF, then I am able to RDP. What am I missing?

    This WF rule exists but is not enabled, I need FF to enable this rule:

    seems the only solution is to manually enable the built-in WF rule to allow TCP 3389 on TermService before installing FF.

    Hello and thank you for this firewall.

    I use Surfshark VPN, and they recently added a "Quantum Safe" Wireguard feature. The VPN connects, and then after a few minutes disconnects and switches to a normal Wireguard connection. I've also noticed that the Wireguard connection drops and reconnects every once in a while.

    I used Bitdefender Total Security for years, but my subscription ended and I thought I'd try other options. Never saw this issue with Surfshark connections reconnecting with Bitdefender.

    I just came across the Wildcard feature in Fort, which is a great feature. Will add the Surfshark folder /** and see if that changes anything.

    Thanks
