    Pro tip: Always use a program like binisoft windows firewall control

    Look at companies like this. The software KNOWS it has been cracked but instead of disabling itself it sends home your info so you can get sued for copyright infringement

    Ps: I’m curious to know the price of the geovia suite. I’m guessing it’s a subscription and I’m guessing it’s more than 10k per year

      Or a firewall that doesn’t rely on windows firewall, since programs will just whitelist themselves from it during installation

        I didn’t encounter a single program that bypassed the block applied by windows firewall control - after setup they usually don’t have the admin rights anymore to control it

          It’s pretty common for programs to add firewall rules for themselves during setup. If you rely on manually blocking them after the fact they could have called back home already
