Windows 10: Ways to use ACLs to block remote network access?

Hi all,

Just wondering if there are any ways to block remote system access from unauthorised parties by using ACLs?

Is Windows 10 configured with vulnerabilities in the ACL SID list? i.e. Are some of the SIDs found under the 'User, Group or Built-In Security Principal' list designed as remote access methods for users who want to connect to a Win 10 machine remotely?

Would appreciate some clarification on this as there are a lot of SIDs under "Properties > Security > Advanced > Owner (Change) > Advanced... > Find Now"

Appreciated. *Smile.

Remote Desktop working from different network at home, but not at other location

I set up my remote desktop so I could connect to it from other places, and I port forwarded it correctly.

I can connect to it from another network while I am in my house (I have 2 networks), but when I go to other places, it can’t connect. Why is this happening?

If this doesn’t work, I am probably just going to use Teamviewer as my last resort.

By the way, the place where I use remote desktop normally uses a wifi network that blocks certain websites, but that probably isn’t the problem.

Any help would be appreciated!

 

Home group works on local area network but not from remote locations

I have a windows 10 desktop and a windows 10 laptop both set up on a homegroup. Both boxes are on WIFI. The desktop is the primary source of shared files. The laptop can access these files when on the local area WIFI network but not from a remote location.
Both machines are setup up the same way. The local router has the port forwarding set up as specified on the Port Forwarding Information screen on the desktop machine. The laptop has a different external port which I temporarily setup on the local router also
but it did help. I read where access could be blocked by the remote WIFI system the laptop is on. The questions I have as follows:

Does the remote router need port forwarding setup for the laptop to access the homegroup or is that port only for listening [allowing access to local files]?

If the remote WIFI is somehow blocking homegroup would that also block internet video and music streaming?

Is there anyway to tell if homegroup is being blocked at the remote location?

Assuming homegroup is not being blocked, what else should I look for that would effect remote access but not local area WIFI access?

I will appreciate any suggestions
