    Unblocking Windows 10 Defender Firewall for MS SQL Server 2014

    I have an instance of MS SQL Server 2014 (call it MSSQL) on a Windows 10 machine (call it WINTEN).

    Running SSMS on WINTEN, I can connect to both the local SQL Server and also to SQL Server instances on other machines on the private network.

    However, I cannot make connections from SSMS on any other machine to the SQL Server instance WINTEN\MSSQL unless I completely turn off Windows Defender Firewall.

    Following all instructions I could find I added two Inbound Rules to the Windows Firewall on WINTENas shown here:

    However, even with those rules in place, as soon as I enable the Windows Defender Firewall all SSMS connections to WINTEN\MSSQL fail with the following message:

    What is the correct way to configure Windows Defender Firewall to allow other private network machines to connect to MS SQL Server?

    Update per first suggestion: I already had TCP Port 1433 Enabled for the SQL Server as shown here:

    do I need to get a virus protection and not count on defender

    That depends on your own preferences and habits.

    Windows 10 comes with in-built AV Windows Defender.

    Do I have a virus? I can no longer use Windows Defender and can't connect to any MS servers

    How does Windows Defender compare, in quality, to other anti-virus?

    Not a very sensible choice of wording, IMO... There's no One Size Fits All and we don't do any kind of polls/ratings here in MC.

    Suggestion to educate yourself by doing some researches by using your favorite search engine.
