Adding "Android" to the search term gives me this: Android firewalls that allow local connections
which gives me this post: 10 Best Free Firewall Apps For Android in 2022

also this post:The 5 Best Firewall Apps to Secure Your Android Phone

There's also an ad on the side of the second one: The 4 Best Stretching Apps to Improve Your Flexibility, but that involves physical excercise. :)

I don't use Windows or run on Android, so I'm guessing here.
I did a search on: firewalls that allow local connections
and one of the results may help you: Windows Firewall: Allowing or blocking applications

Lots of other posts too.

You didn't say how much memory that computer has. It might be struggling with disk swapping, if there's not enough ram to run the BOINC tasks.

All through December, someone was sending me emails to try and get me to renew a subscription to McAfee antivirus.
I've never used it, and the addresses used looked suspicious, so I assumed it was a malware scam of some sort.

Not even sure that it works on Linux.

8GB memory is probably good for a laptop, but not for a lot of BOINC projects.
Which really need a desktop with 32 or 64 gigs.

You may need to find a more suitable project.

it's at a University, so, while the University site is up, it seems that the BOINC project isn't, and everyone will probably have to wait until the project owner is back on site.

My first two were Oxford-AstraZeneca.
The only problem was the injection pain - it felt like the nurses were using a very large needle and trying to push it right through my arm.

And now I'm due for the booster. And not liking what I'm reading here. :(

SETI@home shut down way back, (SETI@home), the asteroids@home project has been down (I think) for most of the year, (this thread), which just leaves rosetta@home. Not sure what's happening there at the moment.
