I have found W10 Firewall to be remarkably robust, if not insensibly overcomplicated – and impossible to control, when you realize Steam and other apps can change the rules, or create new rules. There’s a cool download called Windows 10 Firewall Control, or something, it was bought by Malwarebytes and is maybe still maintained. Not sure that Steam can’t still have their way.
Yes, the W10 Firewall certainly doesn’t have many options, but it does what it should do well. The Defender in recent years has become an excellent AV comparable in its effectiveness with the big brands, with a detection rate around 100% with practically 0 false positives.
Adding a good Sandbox system that isolates the system files, it can be said that Windows, at least in terms of security, is very well armored. The failure is in privacy with so much telemetry and garbage that the OS brings by default, this requires drastic intervention on the part of the user for it to be reasonably acceptable.
ok. I pointed out a major flaw I’ve witnessed in the W10 firewall – Steam can override it, and who knows what else also can do so – and you are gushing over Defender. I have no issues with Defender. Maybe I should, but I don’t. I fear a pale horse, when I should fear the Chuck-e-Cheese animatronic that loves shitty software acceptance.
It’s not so strange, Windows has good relations with Steam and sure whitelisted it in the Firewall. Windows is the largest gaming platform and it would not be very desirable if it could not include the Steam client, because the Firewall blocks it, the largest game store on the Internet.
who owns the firewall? does Windows own it, operating over here, in the hardware I paid for? does Steam own a piece of my private computer over there? Do Steam and Windows own a piece of the bandwidth I paid for? To do with whatever they want? I own the firewall. And I will happily block Microsoft, Steam, and their ilk.
Well you can easy add webs to the Firewall, if you want, Yes, it’s your PC and your Firewall, but when you say that Steam can access means you wanted to install the client, your choice. Do you prefer that the Firewall block it, when you want to install it? Steam has own strong security measures in the Web, the Client and all games in it’s catalogue, with 2FA when you want to access, it’s not a security risk, Try with an torrent download from anywhere and see what your Firewall says, you probably won’t even be able to get past the first percent of the download.
