To temporarily turn off your firewall to test if it’s blocking Fluxus Executor, follow these steps:
For Windows Firewall
Open Control Panel:
- Press Windows + R to open the Run dialog.
- Type control and press Enter to open the Control Panel.
Navigate to Firewall Settings:
- Click on System and Security.
- Select Windows Defender Firewall.
Turn Off Firewall:
- On the left side, click on Turn Windows Defender Firewall on or off.
- Under both the Private network settings and Public network settings, select Turn off Windows Defender Firewall (not recommended).
- Click OK to apply the changes.
Launch Fluxus Executor:
- Try relaunching Fluxus Executor to see if it starts successfully.
Re-enable Firewall:
- After testing, make sure to return to the same settings and turn the firewall back on to ensure your system remains protected.
For Third-Party Firewalls
If you’re using a third-party firewall (like Norton, McAfee, etc.), the steps may vary slightly:
Open Your Antivirus/Firewall Program: Locate the firewall application in your system tray or start menu.
Find Firewall Settings: Look for settings related to the firewall. This is usually found in the main dashboard or under a security settings menu.
Turn off the Firewall: Find the option to turn off the firewall temporarily and confirm the action.
Test Fluxus Executor: Launch Fluxus Executor to check if it works without the firewall enabled.
Re-enable the Firewall: Don’t forget to re-enable the firewall after testing to keep your system secure.
Following these steps will help you determine if your firewall is blocking Fluxus Executor. If it launches successfully with the firewall disabled, you’ll be required to add Fluxus to the firewall’s exceptions list to allow it to run in the future.
