Hi Tony, All, I used to have a script on a mac to enable/disable EVERY piece of traffic on my computers firewall that wasn't just chrome - I can find it if anyone wants a copy.
So at a place like Thailand you could run it before you connected and only chrome(or other browser) was allowed in/out. I just had a look about for a windows PowerShell one but couldn't find an equivalent. This might help in the future if you had a list of allowed programs/ports to stop all the background chatter. There are probably apps out there but i think I would rather know exactly what is running to stop/allow items Greg Wood e: [email protected] t: +61417044439 On 4 January 2018 at 01:36, Tony Wright <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi guys, > > On holiday at the moment in Thailand, and I purchased 4GB of data on a > local mobile network for the princely sum of A$6.
