    Is Windows 10 firewall a one-way or two-way firewall?

    Is Windows 10 firewall a one-way or two-way firewall? If two-way, if I have an app I know needs to do outbound communication how do I configure to allow that -- or will installing software that has a valid certificate be detected by the firewall and allow
    the traffic without me needing to configure anything?

    hackers, viruses, and worms that try to reach your computer over the
    Internet. It is one way, like a wall protecting your system. Windows Firewall in

    Is window 10 firewall 1 way or 2 way?

    Best free AV and firewall

    Can Windows Firewall block outgoing connections yet? If not, it's one step above useless.

    Look into Online Armor for a free firewall.
