It's not my internet connection, I know that for sure. I even tried putting a check in the box to make Firefox an exception. I also tried it on Internet Explorer with the exception box checked and unchecked and had the same problem both times. It only seems to do this when I have outbound blocked on my Private Profile. So for now I'm only blocking outbound connections on Domain and Public profiles. How do I block outgoing on Private Profiles but still be able to use web browsers?

I'd simply add to be careful with blocking all outbound traffic though, this could be problematic with a variety of programs, especially Bittorrent or online video games. Great tutorial again!
