I’ve seen this question asked once before but not with an applicable answer. I am looking for any quick method by which to temporarily disable only the Web Shield component – shortcut, command line text, or other. Currently you can easily temporarily disable only all Shields through the systray icon context menu (just as you can easily re/enable any single, or all, Shields) but the one thing that doesn’t seem possible is to select this (or any) single component Shield this way.

Not looking to exclude processes or sites, just looking for something that doesn’t require 9 steps (right-click systray icon, select Open User Interface, click Settings, click Components, turn off Web Shield, select parameters from the dropdown menu, click Yes, click OK, close user interface) cause there’s gotta be a better way.

All ideas appreciated, THX!

Either you do it through the interface or disable all shields, no other way.

If so, guess I’ll submit this as a feature request: the addition of submenus to the Shields control context menu: select shield - select action
