hello,
no matter what i do i am able to ping 192.168.1.38 and i do not want that.
also, the built-in windows program 'remote dekstop connection' - i cannot prevent it from running.
so in effect, i can remote into another computer and from that computer have unlimited access to the internet.
what makes it worse if that nobody is logged in, i can still remote into another machine.
this seems to be a huge loophole with your product???
please advise,
thanks,
dave -

This is not a loophole with NN. It is a feature of Windows. NN only tracks/filters HTTP traffic, and it is not a firewall. As for the Windows built-in remote desktop feature, you can disable this in the system control panel.
Please consult resources about securing Windows and possibly your router (including WiFi) documentation about its firewall capabilities.
Neither of these issues are something NN is either designed to nor capable of addressing, because they are not web browsing issues. They are Windows operating system and networking issues.
