Application crash on startup with Sentry enabled and firewall blocking connections

[goldfire]

Environment

Using sentry-unity 3.2.3 with Unity 2023.3.57. Installed via Git-URL. It only happens in a build on Windows.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install sentry-unity 3.2.3.
2. Install ZoneAlarm trial.
3. In ZoneAlarm, enable both the firewall and application control.
4. Select the "Application Permissions" option under application control, scroll to your application, change it's status to "block connections".
5. Create a build of your game with Sentry enabled.
6. Launch the game and it will crash before anything shows on screen.
7. Disable firewall/application control and see that the application now launches correctly.

Expected Result

The application should run normally and just fail to deliver errors to Sentry without crashing.

Actual Result

The application crashes immediately upon trying to launch the application. Note that using the firewall in Windows Defender does not cause a crash.

Any logs or screenshots

There's virtually nothing in the logs, including no errors, as it crashes the application before anything initializes.

Hey @goldfire, thanks for reporting this issue!
Could you try disabling Native Windows Support in the Advances tab of the configuration window and see if this persists? To narrow down where this is coming from.

Yes I tried that and had the same issue.

Yes I tried that and had the same issue.

So this is not a sentry-native issue. That's some good-bad news.

Could you help me out narrow it down by disabling Advanced -> Automatic Behaviour -> Auto Session Tracking and Transport -> Offline Caching? There is also the option to completely disable writing to disk via option.DisableFileWrite but that is only accessible via programmatic configuration.
