Windows Firewall
This module allows Helm to interface directly with Windows
Firewall, so you can enable and disable it and make changes to the
port settings as required.
On this page you can manage your Windows Firewall service, and add
new port exceptions.
Enable Windows Firewall:- If you want to turn on
Windows Firewall on your server, check this box and click Save.
Enable/Disable Service Exceptions:- By
default in Windows Firewall there are three Services that are set
by default – File and Print Sharing, Remote Desktop and UPnP
Framework. If you want the server to disable any one of these
services in the firewall, just click the “Disable” button next to
the service. This will then mean that these services are blocked by
the firewall. If you want to allow these services to have access
through the firewall, click the “Enable” button next to the
service(s) you want to enable.
Enable/Disable Port Exceptions:- If you want
to enable or disable port exceptions that you have added to the
firewall, then you can do this here. If you want the server to
disable these ports in the firewall, just click the “Disable”
button next to the service. This will then mean that these ports
are blocked by the firewall. If you want to allow these ports to
have access through the firewall, click the “Enable” button next to
the port(s) you want to enable.
Add New Port:- Click this button to get taken
to the Port Exception screen where you can add a new port to the
firewall.
