  3. Hello, I've created firewall rules to block several remote ip addresses for inbound connections and Windows firewall 11 is ignoring my custom firewall rules

    Hello,

    Based on the information you provided, it seems like you have already created custom firewall rules to block several remote IP addresses for inbound connections, but they are not working as expected. You also mentioned that you are still receiving unwanted emails from these IP addresses.

    I found a thread on the Microsoft Community forum that discusses a similar issue. One user suggested that you should check if the Windows Firewall service is running and set to start automatically. You can do this by following these steps:

    1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
    2. Type “services.msc” and press Enter.
    3. Scroll down to find the “Windows Firewall” service.
    4. Check if the service is running and set to start automatically. If not, right-click on the service and select “Properties”. Change the “Startup type” to “Automatic” and click “OK”.

    If the service is already running and set to start automatically, you can try resetting the Windows Firewall settings to their default values. Here’s how:

    1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
    2. Type “cmd” and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to open an elevated Command Prompt.
    3. Type the following command and press Enter: netsh advfirewall reset
    4. Restart your computer.

    Please note that resetting the Windows Firewall settings will remove all custom rules that you have created. You will need to recreate them after resetting the settings.

    I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

    Adding firewall rules

    I am trying to get Windows 10 mail app to work, going through the firewall, using "Malwarebytes Windows Firewall Control" .
    I have gotten instructions from the program maker to do this:

    Problem: Windows Mail can't synchronize folders:
    This applies to Windows 10 while Medium Filtering profile is used in Windows Firewall Control.
    1. To allow the Windows Mail application to connect and synchronize your email accounts, you must create anoutbound rule for svchost.exe.
    2. To send an email you have to create an outbound rule for: C:\programfiles\windowsapps\microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_17.6002.42251.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\h xmail.exe

    Not sure where to or how to include that in the firewall rules in the included image..
