    Help: rule exists but the program doesn't get through the firewall


    Hi there,

    I'm trying to allow a program (Cinema 4D) through the firewall but no matter what I do the access to the Internet for this particular program it's always blocked.

    I'm using Malwarebytes Windows Firewall Control (so far it worked fine with all the other software installed). With the right click on the .exe, I allowed the program through Windows Firewall but with no success.

    Assuming Malwarebytes for some reason isn't working (though in the end I know it's just a filter to Windows built-in firewall), I then closed Malwarebytes (by exiting the program) and tried directly in Windows Firewall.
    I first tried from the Windows Security Center by clicking on "Allow an app through firewall" and still nothing.
    Then I tried with Windows Defender by adding inbound and outbound rules giving the .exe access to all (domain, private, and public). No luck.

    At this point, I'm out of ideas.
    Hope there's still something left I can try. Any hints?

    :)

    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?
