Humpty Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Came across this tip over at Sandboxie's forum and it seems to work fine here. Thanks to SnDPhoenix: By adding to your ini file: ClosedFilePath=!firefox.exe,\Device\Afd*ClosedFilePath=!firefox.exe,\Device\TcpClosedFilePath=!firefox.exe,\Device\UdpClosedFilePath=!firefox.exe,\Device\RawIp You can block internet access for all programs sandboxed except for Firefox, (of course you could replace firefox with whatever the name of your browsers executable is e.g Opera.exe, Iexplore.exe, etc..) If you decide to add the above lines don't forget to hit the "Reload Configuration" button. Then you may want to try some of the leaktests from a sandboxed browser at the link below.

Tunerz Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I've seen that some weeks ago in Sandboxie's forum. I didn't know Sandboxie has a lot of features still waiting to be unlocked by knowledgeable people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUSHER Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 That's not 100% reliable of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted August 19, 2007 Moderators Share Posted August 19, 2007 Now is this going to block everything from connecting or just things in the sandbox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humpty Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 Anything in the sandbox only, except your chosen browser of course. I ran those tests and with the extra ini lines and SB seemed to block all of them but a couple did launch IE but it couldn't connect as I have FF as default.

Tunerz Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Rule/s seem to be extremely tight even for just simple lines. If you're not (insert process here), you're not allowed to do this even you're (insert high ranking person or supernatural being)!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humpty Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 just asking what is SO good sbout SANDBOXIE Sandboxie will just about stop any and all inet borne malware from infecting your computer. It won't stop them being downloaded to your system but evereything is contained in the sandbox whereas a simple "delete contents of sandbox" will put you back to where you started. Takes a bit of user input to save files from within the sandbox but once you learn the ins and outs of SB it sorta becomes second nature. See the link below.
