Hello @Golfing with Jesus 

 

Have a look at this thread as I helped someone else with this issue:

 

If all fails contact Webroot Support that I posted in that other thread!

 

Thanks,

Hey Daniel, I assume this is a Windows only feature? (I don’t see it on my Mac.)

But it sounds similar to Little Snitch for the Mac, which, at first can be very noisy but over time it quiets down as it learns your choices. But that feature really works if a rogue process starts making connections you do not expect. Now if Webroot would add that feature to the Mac version I could run one less process and save on one less subscription. 😀

I don’t know and i don’t like the new online guides so maybe you can tell me with pictures of the Firewall settings if there are any? Mac and Windows together now... and even Chromebook: https://docs.webroot.com/us/en/home/webroothomeproductsuserguide/WebrootHomeProductsUserGuide.htm#1_ConsumerUserGuide/Using%20firewall%20and%20web%20shield%20protection%20PC.htm?TocPath=_____6
