on the application and the BitDefender firewall settings, this is done with or without
your intervention.
If you are using Basic View or Intermediate View, connection attempts coming from
unknown applications will be automatically blocked.
If you are using Expert View, you will be prompted for action, through an alert
window, whenever an unknown application tries to connect to the Internet.
You can see the following: the application that is trying to access the Internet, the
path to the application file, the destination, the protocol used and the port on which
the application is trying to connect.
Click Allow to allow all traffic (inbound and outbound) generated by this application
from the local host to any destination, over the respective IP protocol and on all
ports. If you click Block, the application will be denied access to the Internet over
the respective IP protocol completely.
Important
Allow inbound connection attempts only from IPs or domains you are sure to trust.

next time the application tries to connect, this rule will be applied by default.
