View Active Internet Connections

The 'View Connections' interface displays an at-a-glance summary of all currently active Internet connections on a per-application basis. You can view all the applications that are connected; all the individual connections that each application is responsible for; the direction of the traffic; the source IP and port and the destination IP and port. You can also see the total amount of traffic that has passed in and out of your system over each connection.

This list is updated in real time whenever an application creates a new connection or drops an existing connection. The 'View Connections' is an extremely useful aid when testing firewall configuration; troubleshooting new firewall policies and rules; monitoring the connection activity of individual applications and your system as a whole and for terminating any unwanted connections.

The 'View active Connections' interface can be accessed by clicking 'View Connections' from the 'General Tasks' interface. Alternatively, this screen can be accessed by clicking the number above Inbound or Outbound in the Advanced View of the Home screen in the Firewall pane.

The 'View Connections' interface displays list of all the currently active Internet connections by initiated by various applications as a Tree structure.

Column Descriptions

• Protocol - Shows the application that is making the connection, the protocol it is using and the direction of the traffic. Each application may have more than one connection at any time. Clicking + at the left of the application name expands the list of connections made by it.

• Source (IP : Port) - The source IP Address and source port that the application is connecting through. If the application is waiting for communication and the port is open, it is described as ‘Listening’.

• Destination (IP : Port) - The destination IP Address and destination port address that the application is connecting to. This is blank if the 'Source' column is 'Listening'.

• Bytes In - Represents the total bytes of incoming data since this connection was first allowed.

• Bytes Out - Represents the total bytes of outgoing data since this connection was first allowed.

Context Sensitive Menu

• Right click on an item in the list to see the context sensitive menu.

• If you wish to view the full path of the application, right click on the application name and select 'Show Full Path'.

• If you wish to terminate a connection belonging to an application, right click on the specific connection and click 'Terminate Connection'.

Identify and Kill Unsafe Network Connections

KillSwitch is an advanced system monitoring tool that allows users to quickly identify, monitor and terminate any unsafe processes and network connections that are running on their system. Apart from offering unparalleled insight and control over computer processes and connections, KillSwitch provides you with yet another powerful layer of protection for Windows computers.

Comodo KillSwitch can show ALL running processes with their granular details– exposing even those that were invisible or very deeply hidden. It allows you to identify which of those running processes are unsafe and to shut them all down with a single click. You can also use Killswitch to trace back to the malware that generated the process.

Comodo KillSwitch can be directly accessed from the 'View Connections' by clicking the 'More' button.

If Comodo KillSwitch is already installed in your computer, clicking 'More' will open the application. If not, CIS will download and install Comodo Killswitch. Once installed, clicking this button in future will open the Killswitch interface.

• Read the license agreement by clicking 'View License Agreement' and click 'Agree and Install'. CIS will download and install the application.

On completion of installation, the Comodo KillSwitch main interface will be opened. Clicking the Network tab will display the  the Network Connections and Network Utilization panes.
