Sandboxie and Windows Firewall

Hi,

I have a sandboxed "EXE":

C:\PROGRAM\PROG.EXE

That in the real system is:

C:\SANDBOX\USER\DRIVE\C\PROGRAM\PROG.EXE

I want that EXE to avoid to access or receive connection from Internet.

I go in Windows Firewall and I make two rules (outgoing and incoming) for:

C:\SANDBOX\USER\DRIVE\C\PROGRAM\PROG.EXE

I am right? It will work?

Or for the S.O. and for the firewall that EXE doesn't exist and PROG.EXE won't be break from the Windows Firewall?

Hello pipppero2007,

You can try the Internet Restriction feature in Sandboxie:

Depending on your Firewall, you may need to change different settings. If you do not trust the program, try installing one you do trust, and then see which settings allow you to make it work (if any).
