A question about Remote Access Shield... is there any kind of blacklists for RAS, or just block all accesses?
I tried to connect to my machine from smartphone and it just worked.

Got it.
When is this Bug going to be addressed, Firewall remembering the choice to run an exe.

icarus.exe
3rd.time since Bootup

Even worse when you consider it is an Avast file, who is testing this stuff
Bugs are just living too long without being squashed.

Here icarus.exe starts from different path every time (or maybe not every, but often) and that confuses Comodo Firewall too...
Is your all firewall entry for icarus.exe have the same path?

Confirmed, see my thread on Slack for an example.

Probably not needed, it will get fixed. But thanks for the suggestion.

Hi NON,

Remote access shield (in default setting) blocks:
- brute-force attacks
- RDP connections coming from malicious IP addresses
- RDP exploits (bluekeep)

If you want to limit RDP access to a specific IP address or range of IP addresses just go to shield settings and enable "Block all connections except the following" checkbox.

Regards,
HK
