    Firewall ignoring custom rules


    Hello, I've created firewall rules to block specific remote ip addresses for in and outbound connections. Some time after updating, windows is now ignoring my firewall rules, and still connects me to these ip addresses. I've created a new rule, tried testing on various ip addresses, and it doesn't work at all. I've tried blocking the connection through other services, and still nothing. Please help me.

    :)

    Windows 10 Firewall won't keep my inbound/outbound rules

    Hi,

    I realize the inconvenience caused to you regarding the Windows Firewall. I will certainly assist you.

    I suggest you to restart the Windows firewall service and check if it helps.

    Follow the below steps for the same.

    • Press Windows key + R simultaneously for Run.
    • Type services.msc and then Enter.
    • Right click on the Windows firewall services and then restart the services and check if it helps.
    If the issue still persists then I suggest you to remove and then read the Windows fire wall rule.

    Hope this information is helpful. Please get back to us with the information required, if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

    Windows 10 Firewall is not saving my custom rules

    Hi

    I've been having this problem from a week ago and can't find a solution.

    I need to create a custom rule to allow a single program through windows 10 firewall, I've been using the option to "allow a program through firewall", the rule is created and I accept the changes, but then if I close the firewall option's window and reopen
    it, the rule is missing again.
