Unraveling the Mystery of the “No Fucking Connection” Firewall Exception

Recently, while adjusting my firewall settings to enhance the download speed of GOG Galaxy, I stumbled upon a peculiar firewall exception labeled “No Fucking Connection.” Initially perplexed, I decided to investigate further—primarily because I was hoping that tweaking my settings might help boost the sluggish download speed, which had been stuck at a frustrating 1 Mbps.

After adding the necessary firewall exception for GOG Galaxy, I did see an improvement in download speeds. However, this odd exception left me with more questions than answers. It lacks a description, and I certainly don’t recall creating it. This leads me to wonder: what exactly does this exception mean, and what program or game is it associated with?

If you have ever encountered a similarly odd entry in your firewall settings or have any insights into this particular exception, your feedback would be incredibly valuable. Is there a method to trace the origin of such a cryptic entry?
