Firewall Question

Post by Minecraft2207 »

Hello, i 'm configuring my windows firewall, and i have a doubt. If i set my firewall to block all inbounds except those that i allow with a rule (check the image below, maybe im wrong in my configuration.) It's needed also to block those programs that i don't want to connect with outside? They all works with 127.0.0.1 which means their connection is local.

Or it wont let them to recieve information from outside my dedicated because of my firewall profile?

P.s: What's the port 135 needed for? It's recommended to close it or not?

Thank you.

I would recommend you disable Windows firewall and do any blocking with our firewall tab in your control panel. I'd also not recommend doing any proactive blocking unless you know what you're blocking any why.
