Suggestion - Obtain or offer community metrics so that new events can be blocked sooner and faster
Version: 2.5.4+
A suggestion would be to either obtain anonymous metrics, allow users to offer metrics or allow API access to create a living list of applications, services and events (ip addresses, ports and domains) that are Good, Neutral, It"s Up To The User, Bad. The living list will self-correct based on calculations and statistics and not user-based.
For example, after the latest Win10 update, I am receiving an increasing event log to update.microsoft.com. I would submit this to the community and while unfortunate, this is part of Windows, so I would vote it as Good (Acceptable). The community would also rate it Acceptable so numerically it should be accepted. If I was a new user, in the Events section, I could see a FreeFirewall Community Rating and then make my choice to Allow, Prohibit, Ban or Trash the event.
A bad example would be if I received an event Access-something.bad.net 1.1.1.1:443 and I don"t know what it is. I am not sure what to choose but I would see the FreeFirewall Community Rating of Bad. If there"s a mouse-over text, FreeFirewall might say something like: The Community has rated this site to be Overwhelmingly Bad as of May 2020 and this site has has a bad reputation since Jan 2005. I would most likely choose Ban Permanently too.
