- tetraodonpuffer 10y agoif by firewall you mean an EXTERNAL firewall (pfSense box or something), sure, but how do you trust the windows firewall? And anyways what if you do want software updates and the telemetry is sent as part of your update request? Unless you have deep packet inspection and drop the telemetry packets how are you going to make sure the data does not go out?
- tyfon 10y agoYes by firewall I mean an external one :) Personally I have a dedicated old computer that is running linux for this purpose. And no this won't fix the core problem so the best solution is to avoid windows completely. I boot mine up sometimes when I want to play a game not on linux or playstation, however that is becoming increasingly rare.
