      Hi, in my PFSense firewall logs, I have made a custom rule, blocking all outgoing connections made to IP's that are listed in some PFBlockerNG feeds

      One of my PC's is making "a lot" of these blocked connections to, let us say, questionable IP addresses.

      Is there some monitoring software, that can tell me what program exactly is making those outgoing connections?

      I allready tried the trial of Glasswire, but that didn't help.

      Thanks!

          Yes , Windows. In the meantime, I allready found the program CurrPorts (https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/cports.html) that does the trick. Looks really old, but does exactly what I needed, including background logging options, so maybe other people can benefit from this post.

          I found the software that was making the connections, nothing fishy, the software package for the NZXT lighting in my PC. Things you should be able to trust as a customer....

            I'm assuming that's sarcasm. 🙄
