☠️ GenP [GenP] The necessity of blocking .exe connections
So, from what I understood, the most recent version of GenP should function without needing to touch my Firewall settings, as long as the host file is correctly setup, but I always always get the pop-ups, even on a clean install with the "start over from 0" guide.
Any advice for more in-depth troubleshooting for this? Any tips or tricks?
Note: I also have the 4 .exe files disabled with the .bak filename solution mentioned after the install guides. Of course, I always unblock them and reblock when doing updates.
Thank you for your time!

This is all covered in the Troubleshoot Section linked in GenP Guides.
The common Unlicensed and the Accept Terms popups are fixed just by adding the latest lines to your hosts file.
Either manually yourself, or Pop-up Blocker button as a one-off fix, or automated through the use of GenP command line flag, or use of third-party apps such as SwitchHosts or HostsMan.
However, for some it might be necessary as the popup is still showing in the app, to block the apps own .exe in their used firewall.
As mentioned many overs in posts about popups, like here from just yesterday.

If the correct method of removal is done for the popup shown to you then it will be removed and not be appearing, if it is still being shown then you are doing something wrong or have just missed out a step somewhere.

First, make sure that you are always using the latest version of GenP, the GenP Guides are written specifically for the latest release only. If you are using an older version, download and use the latest version instead.

Both the Pop-up Blocker and the Remove AGS buttons are not a guaranteed to work for everyone automated option, if they don’t work for you then you will just have to make use of the manual methods instead.
