I always clicked Cancel when the prompt popped up, because I couldn't tell what it was trying to do!
So here's what doesn't make sense to me: "the firewall thinks that there is a new program". What do you mean because of what I said above? The firewall doesn't do anything because of what I said. I wasn't trying to describe exactly how it works.īecause of what you said above, the firewall thinks that there is a new program and you need to allow the connections again Opedara last edited I don't know exactly how it works. That nets some fun links about and computer vulnerabilities, doesn't it? Now I'm really concerned about why Opera does things this way. It's a security concern not just to me, but obviously to Microsoft's Windows firewall.Īnyway, I did a Google search on some words in a previous reply: to do something I can't determine, then I have to leave it blocked, because I can't tell what exactly it wants to change. However, if an Opera bot or something is hitting my computer fresh, from somewhere. Why would I? If the new app is making a request out to the internet, any response comes back without having a natural firewall block.
WINDOWS FIREWALL BLOCKING TORCHAT UPDATE
I have other apps that update to new folders (like some of my Java-based programs) but I don't get a firewall popup for them. Maybe I don't know enough about how this works to feel that it's justified in happening. now, how that triggers a firewall prompt to unblock an incoming connection, I don't know. Opedara last edited by There's been a lot of general answers and guesses all over the place, but it seems the most specific answer is that Opera makes a new folder during update.
