Hi,

I have a rule set up blocking my Xbox from accessing the internet between 0700 and 0100 next morning as my ISP doesn't meter downloads between 0100 and 0700.  However my xbox doesn't download updates etc during those hours as I wish it to.  Is there any place in the program I can check if the rule is working properly? Any logs or such?

  Did you manually download or you are expecting xbox to download automatically?

  I started the download manually then blocked access. Hoped it would start up again when the access was restored at 1am but no luck. In fact the Xbox made no attempt to access the internet, even to check for updates

  If you can manually started these it will likely be better.  Some systems will only download in off hours ... and you blocks may not be optimal.

  I have the connection open from 0100 to 0700 which is when I need the downloads to take place.  I can't manually start the download at 0100 as I'm asleep except at the weekend. Xbox should download when connection is open but I'm not sure that Firewalla is opening the connection properly.  Will have to test at the weekend.
