Tiny Personal Firewall (5.5) configuration questions

Archived from groups: comp.security.firewalls (More info?)

Hi all,

The newspaper I read online has a nasty habit of spraying ads all over
the place.The most annoying ones come from a particular adserver. In
Tiny Personal Firewall 2.0 it was easy to prevent the browser (Firefox
in my case) from communicating with that particular IP.

Result: Works like a charm, page loads in a jiffy without ads.

Now in version 5.5 it has gotten quite a bit more confusing, but I
figured it out (I thought): Created a high priority rule to prevent
Firefox from communicating with a particular ip.

Result: Works, page loads without ads, but only after about a minute
with a 'Timed out while contacting [address]' message on top. The
address that times out is the one I've created a rule against.

Is there a way to fix this to restore the smooth behaviour of TPF 2 ?
(And I don't mean reverting to it ..)

Thanks in advance,
Johnny Skaaning
