The Firewall Exceptions Tab

In this tab you can add applications or ports that you want to authorize / register in Windows Firewall. If your application requires inbound network connections and Windows Firewall is turned on, your connections will be blocked by the firewall (in the best case scenario the user will be prompted to allow a connection) unless you register a proper firewall exception rule. You can choose to authorize a certain TCP or UDP port, or authorize a whole process (your application).

Adding a new application exception

Use the [ Add Program ] button. The Edit Firewall Application Exception dialog will enable you to configure the firewall rule.

Adding a new port / protocol exception

Use the [ Add Port ] button. The Edit Firewall Port Exception dialog will enable you to configure the port / protocol rule.

NoteIf you un-check a firewall exception rule from the list, the rule will be registered with Windows Firewall but will remain inactive.
