      5. Since version from Window XP, use the Windows Firewall.
        The firewall block program uses the network.

        By default, when you first install a MessagePopup, the window that you can allow access private networks pops up.
        (XP) Click Unblock / (Win10, etc) check boxes of private and public network and click Allow access.
