    Firewall rules to make smb safer and still usable?


    Hi everyone, my scenario is a Windows11-machine with two ethernet ports no wifi: one 2.5GbE port connected to the router/internet and a second 10GbE port connected directly to a Mac that is connected in turn to a couple of thunderbolt2 HFS+ RAIDs Mac "can" access to internet via wifi. I'm using smb protocol on both Windows11-machine and Mac in order to make Windows11-machine able to copy files from/to the two HFS+ RAIDs.All works fine, but unfortunately I read that smb protocol is or can be vulnerable to malware and attacks from the internet.Hence, two questions: 1. Which are the Windows

    Windows 10 upgrade doesn't keep firewall inbound rules settings

    Hi All,

    I just migrated Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 through SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 TS then firewall inbound rules were not ok.

    The three WMI rules are disabled; rules for ping response and SMB access for domain profile are disabled, they are enabled for private profile instead.

    Which suggestion in this regard?

    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 Firewall: Doesn't show blocking rules

    Hello!

    Today I've blocked all connections of a program by creating a outbound rule in Windows Firewall. However, I now wish to remove it. The problem: I can't find that newly created rule anywhere in the list. The rule does take an effect, since deactivating the
    Firewall lets the program run properly. I can only see rules in the list that "allow" stuff, but not those who block things.

    What I have tried so far:

    - All filters set to "Show all" within the Firewall

    - Created the same rule again, doesn't show up

    - Created a rule that allows the program, shows up

    Any solutions?
