It's pretty common for programs to add firewall rules for themselves during setup. If you rely on manually blocking them after the fact they could have called back home already

    From my experience it seems like that with binisoft firewall control existing rules are ignored until re-added by the user

    The only way a software can leak info is to open a url like example.com/install-success.php?track=UNIQUECODE in the default browser
