Sophows Firewall and git with Windows 10

Hi there,


I am using Sophos Endpoint Security (10.6) with its integrated firewall but I can't figure out how to configure it correctly to work with git on Windows 10. I installed the latest git version from here: https://git-scm.com/download/win. I plan to use git with the IntelliJ Java-IDE.

Everytime IntelliJ tries to connect to github via git the connection fails. With disabled firewall everything works just fine. I checked the firewall logs and there is only one application called "system" active when I intiate a git pull. Normally I would go ahead and look for the executable to define some rules but I can't find a "system.exe". How can I fix this?

  • Ok, so I figuered it out myself.

     

    It is imperative to create the following firewall rules:

    For git-credential-manager.exe and git-remote-https.exe: Allow HTTPS OUT

    You will find those files in C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\libexec if you installed the above mentioned GIT-package.
