Curious Case of the “No F***ing Connection” Firewall Exception
While setting up my firewall to improve download speeds for GOG Galaxy, I stumbled upon a peculiar exception named “No F***ing Connection.” Initially, my intention was simply to grant the application better access, as I was experiencing frustratingly slow download speeds that had plateaued at a mere 1 Mbps. To my surprise, the change helped boost my speeds. However, the existence of this bizarrely named exception left me scratching my head.
Upon clicking for more details, I found that it provided no description whatsoever. I can’t recall creating this exception, nor do I have any idea what game or application it could possibly be associated with. It’s a mystery that has me questioning the origins of this unconventional entry in my firewall settings.
Has anyone else come across a similar situation? If so, do you have insight into how I might trace which program it connects to? It seems like it could be a valuable piece of information to have, especially for those of us eager to keep our systems secure and functioning optimally.
For reference, I’ve included a screenshot of the peculiar firewall exception here. If you’ve seen something similar, please share your experiences or tips on how to investigate this further. Let’s get to the bottom of this mystery together!
