No way.
If you block outgoing access at the firewall, you block outgoing access =
at
the firewall. That's that.
The problem is, you have to be able to get onto the internet somehow, =
right?
Is that through a Proxy Server, or through exception rules? Once you've
made an outbound connection, there is nothing stopping another =
application
from using that established connection.
As to his problems with Media Player, they are well founded. The EULA =
for
MP9 contained some scary "we can do this if we want to" language.
Independent testing (and my own testing) has shown that they are not yet
using it, but I check again every time MP9 is patched by my SUS server, =
just
in case...

I know that there are firewalls out there that block programs from =
accessing
the web.
I got into a debate with a friend.. (who is a Linux freak... suse to be
exact) about Microsoft and having programs like windows media player
reporting back to Microsoft on what stuff you watch and what u listen =
to..=20
anyhow the question I have is if u have a firewall that blocks all =
outgoing
packets ( prohibits specified programs from accessing the net) is there
stuff imbedded in the os that would report back that wouldn't be stopped =
by
the firewall
