Can't Block non-VPN Traffic with Windows Firewall
 

I was trying to block non-VPN traffic with win firewall, using this tutorial How to Block non-VPN Traffic | 24vc , but it doesn't work at all.

I did exactly what was recommended in this tutorial.
Also tried other options like blocking other browsers, or blocking all traffic at all, but no changes..

Any ideas why it doesn't work?
Using Windows10.

My understanding is that there may have been some issues with Windows 10. I have blocked traffic on Windows 7 with 100% no leaks. Did you open a support ticket with 24vc, they are usually pretty good at getting back to you in a timely manner.:ranger:

davids01 is right 24vc customer service is very good and if you get in touch with them they will help you to sort this problem out quickly, and yes Windows 10 has caused hassles before for stealth users. Firewalls can cause issues as well if the settings in them are not reset.

1) Allow TCP and UDP to the IP address of 24vc VPN server
2) Block everything else.

The problem is that if I block all inbound/outbound connections, it still does not work.. so it looks like that firewall does not work at all (but its turned ON).

I have also McAfee protection installed in laptop, so maybe that **** blocks my changes on firewall or blocks firewall at all..?

Sounds like you may have a conflict between Windows 10 Firewall and McAfee Protection. I found several posts about it, Check link below. Good luck, let us know how it works out. :behindsofa: Warning+ Outside link...https://community.mcafee.com/message/388786#388786

Uninstalled McAfee and other security trial-version program, now firewall works perfectly.

But, another issue comes out.. it does not work with firefox portable (if I check another browser it works). Maybe I don't find right .exe file to check.. I have it on my desktop for opening firefox, and check same file in firewall.
