M MrNew New member Joined Jan 29, 2015 Posts 1 Jan 30, 2015 #1 Hello, i have some questions Is there any way to prevent changes that any installer or app would do to windows firewall rules? Can those installers be somehow hacked to remove that "permission"? How can i enable ping or tracert in cmd if i have outbound connection blocked? I saw some open ports in windows when i run netstat -aon in listening mode from local ips 0.0.0.0 ports - 135/445; 49152-46157 to foreign ip 0.0.0.0 on port 0 is it safe to have listening ports? Is there any way to try close them or they will break something? (Im behind a router) How can i let chromium connect to internet with outblound connection blocked by default? i tried adding both inbound and outbound rules but i cant access any website. Firefox works fine with just outbound rule, chrome - same.

Click to expand... I tried a bit and reached this point: - in short: in protocols and ports, select ICMPv4 - Echo request; in programs and services, select apply to services only - verbosely: in outbound rules, click new rule, select custom, click next, leave selected all programs, click customize..., select apply to services only, click ok, click next, in protocol type select ICMPv4, click customize..., select specific icmp types, tick echo request, click ok, click next, leave the scope section like it is, click next, select allow the connection, click next, select your profile, click next, put the name you prefer, click finish.

If you have placed it on your desktop, change its path inside the firewall rule, from %userprofile% to c:\users\your-username (it seems this is a bug in the firewall).
