Vista Firewall
Release blocked applications

With Windows Vista a standard activated and significantly improved firewall was delivered. It monitors incoming and outgoing network traffic without further intervention and prevents programs from contacting the Internet.
However, if a program has been released or blocked, this setting applies permanently and the firewall does not ask for it.
But since nothing is permanent, it is possible that a previously blocked or permitted access should be changed ...


To do this, call up the firewall settings in the control panel

 

Start> Control Panel> Windows Firewall

"Let the program communicate through the Windows firewall"

In this click on the Exceptions tab.
All programs are listed here and ticked according to their status.
A tick means that permission to communicate has been granted.
To enable a program again, tick it and confirm with OK.
To revoke access to a program, remove the checkmark.
