    Block Firefox with Windows Firewall ?


    Is there a way to block Firefox traffic to only 'Public Network' ?? I use OpenVPN and when it's connected it shows as an Unidentified network, Public network. I have managed to block my torrent client to only work when my VPN is active by using Win firewall and blocking it from Domain and Private networks, leaving Public unchecked, and it does work. When I do the same thing with Firefox it still connects even though I have my VPN off..

    I read somewhere that Windows Firewall does not block outgoing ports so what I'm trying to do is not possible?
