Windows 10: Create outbound IP address rule for 127.0.0.1

If someone says to create a firewall rule 127.0.01 to 127.0.0.1 how would I do that?

:)

 

Docker on Windows 10. Is it an Inbound Rule or Outbound Rule?

First, you can see your network location by network and sharing center.





Then you can set rules to open tcp port 445 as following steps.

1. Right click Inbound rules, click New
   
2. Click Custom
   
3. In the new Window, select All programs, type the specified program path, or Services
   
4. Then you can select tcp port 445 in Local port and Remote port, you can use any
   
5. Then select Ip Scope as your requirements, you can use both any Ip address and any Ip daress
   
6. Select Allow the Connection or Allow the connection if it is secure
   
7. Select your profile, you can choose your current profile(As we see at the beginning), or select all
   
8. Then type the rule name(This is dependent on yourself)
   
9. After setting inbound rule, take the same action to create a outbound rule.
   

 

firewall rule to block addresses NOT on an IP list?


I am just starting to learn the Windows Firewall (working on both Windows 7 and 10) and I'm not impressed with the inflexibility of its rules. I would like to know if


1. Is there is a way to do what I want with Windows Firewall?
2. Is there is a third-party firewall that would do it?


What I want to do is create a rule that blocks outgoing connections, for program X, that are to a destination **NOT** in an IP list.


Windows Firewall is not very flexible in how you specify IP list rules. When you give an IP list, your rule will match that list... you can't say "trigger the rule for non-matching IP addresses." Therefore to allow outgoing connections to a list, you have to


1. Change the entire firewall policy to block outgoing connections by default so that you can create an "allow rule" matching your list. This will mess up the rest of your programs.


2. Somehow combine a block rule and allow rule. Create a block rule for most traffic, with the "allow" rule overriding it when appropriate. However, this doesn't appear to be possible in general. It **may** be possible for connections that use IPSec, I'm not sure. And I'm not sure if I can use IPSec in my application.

And is there a third-party firewall that can do it? Most 3rd-party firewalls are LESS sophisticated than Windows Firewall, because the use case they are addressing is providing an interface that doesn't require much comprehension. I need one that's actually MORE sophisticated than Windows Firewall.

 

question about firewall outbound rules

hi there
I intend to create an outbound rule in Windows Firewall to block connections certain software might attempt to make.
My question is if I can add an IP exception, like blocking all outbound connections with the exception of certain IP address where the software may connect, which is actually my website's ftp server.
I've surfed in rules settings and I cannot find it. *Huh
