    Hi,should we allow "GENERIC HOST PROCESS" access to the internet as a server or at all?
    Something about the word "GENERIC" we don`t like.
    Thanks for any information

    IIRC it's needed for some internet connections to work. Never found it doing anything harmfull, so i'm keeping it as "allowed" in my FW.

    You can always check if everything works or not if you block it.
