Anyone know where I can find a good guide to learn about firewalls and how to use them properly?
Specifically, I have this firewall that came with my Ultra-D mobo, its called the Nvidia Firewall. RIght now its just setup as "anti-hacking" but I'd like to utilize it more.
Specifically, I'd like to be able to refuse internet connections to certain programs (exe files), and to allow others to go through the firewall without any problems (such as torrents).
I know these are simple questions but I just have no clue about firewalls.
Should I just forget about the nvidia firewall (uninstall it) and install a third party one or maybe just use the windows firewall? If so, how do I do the above?
EDIT: sorry for posting here instead of "APPS" section. If a mod wants to move this, fell free, it may even be better for me and the responses I get.
