It turns out that the problem that I was having was a result of creating the rule for the 64-bit version of iexplorer, when I really meant to create the rule for the 32-bit version of the browser, found in %ProgramFiles% (x86)\Internet Explorer. Apparently, the two versions of the browser use different executables. Thanks Astrum, great article!

Most probably you have a similar service within a security package where web traffic is filtered/directed by another process(es). You have to find it and create an according rule as well.

After creating the new rule, I'm unable to connect to the Internet. IE 9 displays the error "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage." However, if I allow all outbound connections not matching a rule to be made, IE 9 begins to work again. Will the same program, %ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\iexplorer.com still work for IE 9?
