Some games and programs may not work properly after the Internet is connected to the firewall. How to solve this problem?
In order to work normally, some programs and games must receive information through the network. Information enters your computer through the inbound port. Your computer must open the correct inbound port so that the Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) can allow this information to pass through. Some applications and games are listed below, and you may need to open these ports manually so that the programs can run correctly. Below the list are step-by-step instructions on how to manually open the port in the Internet connection firewall.
