The firewall monitors processes that attempt to access the Internet and monitors the ports used for communicating with the Internet. If it is not active it will not need to be monitored.

 

But you do have control over whether Webroot SecureAnywhere will allow or block certain processes and port communications.



To change settings for active connections:

 

1. Open the Webroot main interface.
   
2. Click PC Security.
   
3. Click the Firewall tab.
   
4. At the bottom of the panel, click View Network Applications. > The Network Applications dialog opens.
   
5. Click on a radio button to allow or block a process or port address

Thanks, @!

@ great article.  I don't know if you know this but since I have Windows Defender turned on, it takes precedence over Webroot.  Meaning that WD is currently defending my firewall.   Do you have this setup?

Thank you.

Regardless of whether or not you have WD turned on, Windows Firewall is always on. Webroot's Firewall settings merely act as a front end to control some of the outgoing connections. All of the incoming connections are always controlled by Windows Firewall (unless you use a third party firewall and disable WF).
