Ask Me whether to connect to Network

[JohnnyMP]

I've come from Bitdefender and love how easy to navigate Kaspersky is. One thing I've struggled to find is how to simply get Kaspersky to ask my permission when a new application wants to connect to the internet for the first time - and set the ongoing rule from there. I've found it either does it automatically or, if I uncheck "Perform recommended actions automatically", it prompts for every single change. 

Just looking for the simple setting that allows the user to choose whether or not to allow an application to connect to the network.

Welcome to Kaspersky Community.

 

Yes, that's the setting to enable Interactive Mode in Kaspersky home products.

 

But, the problem is what You said, a possible solution would  be going to Intrusion Prevention -> Manage Applications, move manually to Trusted group all the apps You trust. Prompts usually come when an app located in a restriction group performs an operation in the system, rights can be modified and customized for the 4 trusting groups.

Appreciate the reply, but the issue with this solution is that Kaspersky will add a newly accessed app into the Trusted group automatically, and allow access.

I'm looking for a solution that allows the User to choose whether to allow access initially instead of revoking access after the fact. Like you can do in Bitdefender (below).

Kaspersky is better than Bitdefender in every other way, just crazy that they have this over us...

Agree, in this matter Kaspersky in Interactive mode, it's a bit complex to manage, since K. FireWall controls ports connections of every app, but not the connections of every app like a whole.
