The Mystery of the Odd Firewall Exception: “No Connection”
Recently, while I was configuring firewall settings for GOG Galaxy to enhance my download speeds—which had frustratingly plateaued at 1 Mbps—I stumbled upon a peculiar firewall exception named “No Fucking Connection.” Naturally, I was taken aback.
Initially, I aimed to streamline my firewall settings to improve the sluggish download speeds, and my efforts were fruitful. However, the existence of this strange exception remains a puzzle that I can’t seem to unravel. When I clicked on the details for this exception, I was met with a complete absence of information; no descriptions, no origins, and certainly no recollection of ever creating it.
This left me questioning its purpose: What program or game could possibly be linked to such an unusual designation? Is this something unique to my setup, or has anyone else encountered this anomaly?
I would greatly appreciate insights from fellow tech enthusiasts and gamers. If anyone has experienced a similar situation or has any ideas on tracing what program this exception is tied to, please share your thoughts.
To provide further context, I’ve included a screenshot of the firewall exception for reference. View the screenshot here.
Your input could help demystify this curious occurrence!
