F-Secure Safe firewall question.

Bolt

Hey fellas

 

As a new user of F-secure Safe i am bit stranged about the firewall. As i'm not getting any popups for programs connecting to internet. I even ticked the box that says "Ask my permission to make and internet connection" 

 

And from the help file "The product uses Windows Firewall for basic firewall functions, such as controlling incoming network traffic and keeping your internal network separate from the public Internet. In addition, DeepGuard monitors installed applications and prevents suspicious applications from accessing the Internet without your permission."

 

So if i understand this correctly i should be seeing a popup when outbound access request by program is blocked and it should ask the user whether he/her wants to accept or decline?

F-Secure does indeed use Windows Firewall. I think you will only see a permission pop-up for the odd program the firewall doesn't recognise. Otherwise, it's just a matter of trusting it.
