How to unblock Firewall settings to use Innertube & Particle Editor

Allowing Internet Access (required for proper program functionality)

If you allow Windows, Norton, or another firewall to "Block" BioExplorer you will block BioExplorer's ability to send information to Particle Editor / Inner Tube (they will not work after this). If you "Block" Particle Editor, Inner Tube, or WebUpdateSvc, you will not receive free, important, updates to Inner Tube / Particle Editor.

If you see a window like either of the following appear you must click "Unblock" or "Always allow connections" to let BioExplorer, Inner Tube, Particle Editor and Auto WebUpdate to work.

Click "Unblock"
 
Change the drop down to "Always allow connections"
 
Click "Unblock" Change the drop down to "Permit Always"

 

If you already clicked block you need to unblock these programs.
