I have a program that accesses an online server for information. 98% of the time there is no problem. But it seems that 2% are being blocked by the &nbsp;Windows firewall. Particularly with Windows 10.<br />

Is there any way programmatically to determine whether Internet access is being blocked by the firewall? If so this would be very helpful to avoid support questions.<br />

Any help would be appreciated.

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.
