I want to set my default rule to block all traffic and only allow certain traffic with allow rules. I changed it to 'block all connections' and created an inbound rule that allows ICMP from all three profiles, for all programs on all interfaces but this made the firewall drop ICMP traffic even though I have an allow rule created for it.Īccording to this documentation the allow rules are supposed to take precidence over default rules. In the domain policy properties I've set the Inbound Connections to 'Block (default)' but this still let's ICMP through. I've been making the same setting changes to each one, though I only have a single NIC and its assigned the domain policy. I see there are three policies - public/private/domain.
I'm trying to configure Windows Firewall on Server 2008 R2 to block everything except for the traffic that I add to the rule list.
