This wikiHow will teach you how to block CorelDRAW from the Internet using the firewall settings in Windows 10. You can do this if you don't want the program accessing the Internet, which is especially useful if your program is out-of-date.

Things You Should Know

  • If you don't want CorelDRAW to access the internet for verification, you can add rules to Windows Defender Firewall to block it.
  • In Windows Defender Firewall, click Outbound Rules, then create a new rule for "Program."
  • Select the corelDRW.exe file, choose "Block the Connection," and save your new firewall rule.
