I was thinking of a way to make my laptop a bit more secure and started looking into alternative firewalls for Windows. I came across TinyWall which is an alternative front end to the Windows firewall so it’s not as intrusive as the other options. Everything was working well till I tried to pull a git repository from Babun and I got an the following error

ssh: connect to host bitbucket.org port 22: Network is unreachable

The solution was simple, just whitelist the following EXEs

• %USERPROFILE%\.babun\cygwin\bin\git.exe
• %USERPROFILE%\.babun\cygwin\bin\sh.exe
• %USERPROFILE%\.babun\cygwin\bin\ssh.exe

That’s assuming you used the default installation path
