As far as I understand, due to the constant change of the port by the browser, the firewall triggers a request to create a new rule. And blocking a large range is not good, as my programs may stop working. It would be nice if the browser didn't try to make incoming TCP connections on random ports on every launch. Or there was a browser setting that disables such connections, since I don’t need features on new tab page or automatic check for updates

It will be optimized in the future version. ?

In Version6.2.0.1000(64-bit)0819 this problem is exist

Hi mxuser, usually, this permission only pops up once time and does not ask again, could you please try to set it to allow all the time and do not ask again in this software Outpost Firewall Pro?

Hi mxuser, if you click the "Block" option, the new tab page can load normally?

Yes, a new tab is launched normally. As you can see in the video, the update check stops working. If click the "Allow" option, then checking for updates works.

I figured out, new tab just opens blank when "Block" option is enabled, when "Allow" option is enabled, then the new tab has wallpapers, links, etc. :)

I very rarely use new tab, didn't pay attention before :)))

Hi mxuser, do you remember this issue happened on which version first, 6.1.3.3200, 3100, or which earlier version?

Hi!

This has been a problem since the beginning of the MX6, just didn't take the time to ask the question.

Hi mxuser, please try to disable the extensions then try this issue again. ?

 

I found what causes my firewall to fire when the browser launch. Video below:

 

P.S.

I think that when I select "never check for updates" the browser should not try to make any automatically connection.

@BugSir006 Hi!

I have a question.

Why does Maxthon 6 always require to establish an incoming TCP connection on a random port at startup? Below screenshot:

It's my local firewall, then I click block and it does not affect the functioning of the browser.
There is no such behavior in any other browsers, including Maxthon 5.

 

Here is a screenshot of the many rules that the firewall creates every time Maxthon 6 is launched:
