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

Firewall settings can be a puzzling area for many users, and occasionally, you might stumble across some peculiar entries. Recently, I came upon an unusual firewall exception labeled “No Fucking connection” while attempting to adjust my settings for GOG Galaxy. Frustrated by a download speed stuck at 1 Mbps, I configured the exception in hopes of enhancing my download performance—which surprisingly worked.

However, the existence of this bizarrely named exception raises several questions. There’s no description available when I click for details, leaving me scratching my head. I don’t recall creating this entry, and I’m uncertain which game or application it might be associated with.

Has anyone else encountered a similar situation? If so, I’m keen to know if there’s a method to trace back the origin of this obscure exception and determine its link to any specific program. Sharing insights on this could be beneficial for others experiencing similar oddities in their firewall configurations.

For reference, I’ve attached a screenshot of the firewall exception for visual context. View the screenshot here.

Let’s work together to demystify this anomaly!
