Windows 10: Allow app Internet access.

Hello! I've been having a problem with a game, I can't access its online features, but it's not the game's problem, it's probably my network. I am wondering how to find out where the game is "trying to connect to", and whitelist it on my router. (I don't even know if it's an IP or how to do it).

Preventing access to modern app

Ive been tasked with preventing the children from accessing instagram. I've got it listed in my windows hosts file and internet options/security/restricted site but the windows 10 app is still allowing access. Any suggestions other then deleting app which can just be reinstalled?

 

Allowing a Program Access to the Internet

Hi Philip,

A firewall is a software program or piece of hardware that helps screen out hackers, viruses, and worms that try to reach your computer over the Internet. Using Windows Firewall, you can allow programs to access the internet. To do so, creating a Firewall
Rule is required. Start the Windows Firewall settings by clicking Start and searching for Firewall. Click the Windows Firewall app and not Windows Firewall with Advanced Security. The Windows Firewall screen shows you how the firewall is configured for both
private networks and public networks. On the list of settings to the left, click “Allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall". The next view shows you a list of all the apps that are already allowed to communicate, and over what kinds of networks (private
or public). If it’s the first time you’ve opened Windows Firewall, click the Change Settings button to give yourself permissions to make changes or add new apps. You’ll only need to do this once. To add a new app to the list, click “Allow another app”. In
the Add an app window, browse for the app you want to allow network access to. Click the Network types button to specify whether you want to allow the app access on public or private networks (or both). Click Add when you’re done and that’s it. You’ve allowed
the app through your firewall–you’ll see it show up on the list of allowed apps, and it should be allowed to use internet or network-related features.

Windows Firewall: Allow internal network / deny internet access

Hi all,
Been lurking here for years, but I finally need some direct help please.
I have a need to allow a specific program to have internal network access, but disallow/deny that same program all internet access. I don't see any way to do this in the firewall settings. It seems like it's an all or nothing toggle. What am I missing?
I'm using Malwarebytes Windows Firewall Control, which is just a fancy GUI for the built-in windows firewall.

Really, almost 2600 views and not a single suggestion? Is this really such an impossible problem? *Huh
If so, is there another firewall program (free or paid) that would allow me to do this?
I have a security camera system that needs internal access to my network, but the software I use is notorious for pushing out automatic updates that break the system. I can't have that, so the suggestion is to block access to the internet for that program. However, I can't block internet and still allow internal network traffic with the Windows Firewall. Not that I can find anyway.
