Hello!
I use tinywall as my firewall. It does a fantastic job of keeping telemetry and background internet access of apps to a minimum (https://tinywall.pados.hu/).
However, it is a little too good, and therein lies the problem
I love Windows Spotlight (for lockscreen walls) and use another app which allows me to set spotlight images as wallpapers (http://www.curbitssoftware.com/spotlight-wallpaper/ and https://github.com/onlineth/Spotlight-Desktop).
But Tiny Wall seems to be blocking access of Windows Spotlight. I know the process that is used by this is Background Intelligent Transfer (BITS) which runs via svchost. I tried unblocking them all, and I still seem to be out of luck.
Could someone help out with this? I want to know if there is any other process that needs access for the spotlight to work?
Thank you!
