I checked the allowed programs list and netlog.exe was on it, I even tried temporarily disabling the firewall and running it as administrator but it didn't work for some reason.
Actually my bad, when the program opened and said "Port(default 5101):" I thought it meant it was already listening to that port, I didn't realize you actually have to press enter then any key for it to actually run.
Also on some terminal emulators I have to input a random letter and press enter after inputting the port for it to run, which is fine but a little strange/interesting.
