    Block incoming connections

    Hi,

    I have a netgear router and the router log shows it is detecting (and hopefully blocking) incoming connections like port scans or DoS attacks.

    But McAfee running on my Win10 machine shows it is also blocking connections from external computers around the world trying to connect to high TCP ports.

    Question is, why would these be coming in to my PC at all and how do I effectively block all these? Should I configure some Defender rules to block all unknown incoming connections? Looks like Defender is controlled by McAfee if it is installed but I
    plan to uninstall that.

    Many thanks in advance.

    How to reliably block all incoming connections in Windows 10 Firewall?

    In Windows 10 "Firewall and Advances Security" I want to block all Incoming network connections. Forever.

    The initial setup is easy:

    • Block incoming connection setting (already set by default)
    • Manually disable / delete all Inbound Rules

    But the problem is, that after some time there are many new Rules added. Some are added by Windows (I believe it asks to allow program through firewall).

    But there are many that are added without asking user permission. For example: "@$(runtime.ProgramFiles)\Hyper-V\SnapInAbout.dll,-212"

    So the question is - How to reliably block all incoming connections?
