Is there a way for Webroots firewall to block outgoing traffic to tor network automatically?
 
Reason is to stop potential downloads of ransomeware payloads.

Hey @,
 
I don't believe so. That would be something that would be better handled by a router/UTM/hardware firewall solution anyway.

Thank you for your quick response.
 
I agree that having a dedicated box doing this would be preferred, but saving that investment would be welcoming.

If it's business related, it's never a good idea to cheap out.
