Windows 7 firewall rule to allow only a predefined range of LAN IP Communications?

Hello

I'm new to working with the Windows 7 firewall.  I want to create rules that will help my office computers laptops only can communicate with some computers on my LAN - those whose IP address of 192.168.10.50 to 192.168.10.55.

When comments computers connect to the network via ethernet, they would get an IP address outside this range and I don't want the hosts to be able to see or communicate with desktop computers and vice versa.

I created the inbound rules and outbound for tests that denies everything outside this range of IP (extended tab has the range specified in the remote zone "IP address") and it seems to work.  For the "local IP address" I chose "any IP address" - the documentation says: "select this option to specify that the rule matches a packet network for any address as the local IP address. The local computer are always consistent with the rule when this option is selected. »

Have I set it up properly?

Thank you.

  • [Solved] Research of firewall rule allowing Windows Update

    The problem has been resolved here: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/62b9fd5c-10b2-4266-bc15-fcf3e79d20d4/solved-windows-firewall-rule-that-allows-windows-update?forum=w7itpronetworking

    Everything down here is obsolete. (But you can read the true story about the virus of Bagel).

    Someone at - it an outbound Windows Firewall rule allowing Windows Update?

    Details.

    Yesterday, I tried to run Windows Update. The rule of outbound firewall to allow Windows Update to get through, I added was:

    Name: Allow Windows Update
    Group:
    Profile: Public
    Activated: Yes
    Action: allow
    Program: %SystemRoot%\System32\wuapp.exe
    Local address: no
    Remote address: all
    Protocol: all
    The local railway: no
    Remote port: any
    Computers permit: all

    I got 10 updates to install and all 10 failed. The only way that they have all been able to fail is: '% SystemRoot%\System32\wuapp.exe' is the wrong program, OR "wuapp.exe" passes control to another program, I don't know.

    Can anyone help me with this? I'll be forever grateful if you can.

    Note that I had to fall back to the default settings (see 'Background', below) in order to succeed and who has not made me happy.

    Background.

    Despite what you think it means, "outbound connections (green check mark) that do not match a rule are allowed" (which is the default) means only, unless you went to the extreme penalty to create the blocking rules, the firewall is wide open for outbound - connections, essentially, you have no firewall for outbound connections. " That means, 1, if you have a Trojan horse on your computer that is looking to download his main-payload of viruses in your computer (see "A history of real virus", below), or 2, if you have a virus keylogger in your computer who wants to 'phone home' him make his Masters criminal of your online banking user name & password There is absolutely nothing to stop.

    That's why I put my firewall: "(entry not red) outbound connections that do not match a rule are blocked".

    A story real virus.

    A couple of years ago, I visited a well known web site that had been hijacked - was - it cnet? I think so. The site seemed basically OK, but something made me shy away. I've left without clicking anything whatsoever. But the visitor of this site (with active javascript) transferred a Trojan horse in my computer (i.e. "Trojan", below).

    Once it was in my computer, the Trojan horse, then went through my firewall, out - was my firewall zonealarm at this time? I think so - and downloaded Bagel, a key logger to rootkit.

    I had no warning of the firewall as the Trojan horse used a well-known port that was wide open, and I had no antivirus warning because Bagel does not change any existing program. It uses the unallocated file space, patched itself in the initialization string, charged before the mode protected of windows at the next startup and reprogrammed the hardware memory to hide its presence in memory. It took me 2 months to discover Bagel and another 4 months to get rid of him. It was hell. My keyboard and mouse acted constantly upward. I didn't a bank online at this time. If I had, I'm sure that my account would have been cleaned up because that's what Bagel. It's a keylogger monitoring keyboard and browser waits to catch a connection to the Bank.

    Details of Trojan.

    The Trojan horse was a javascript function which ran automatically when the page is loaded. He created a table (similar to a mathematical object matrix) made up of identical over 1 million members of the group. Each Member of the Group was a short string of numbers. As it looped to add table-members, the Trojan horse later (in fractions of a second) overflowed the heap memory management hardware had allocated to my browser. That overflow has partially replaced the next higher segment in memory - which is called a "violation of the limits", and Yes, it is possible, if you position the base register just below the upper part of your segment and then use a large lag. There was a flaw in Windows that could not detect this type of violation of the limits and Bagel is designed to exploit this vulnerability. But the story does not stop there. To take control, the short string of numbers in a table-member of the "wrong"side of this segment limit had to be performed. Now, it of the roll of the dice that viruses are facing, but if the program that was partly crushed is always loaded in memory and running and if it executes the code at the bottom of its segment, then - Voila! -the virus takes control of the timeslice allocated to the program that was partly crushed. In other words, the program that was partly crushed no longer control, the virus is in control. So, what did the do Trojan horse? Completely in the background and without any idea for me, he went to a web site in Ukraine and downloaded the main payload of Bagel. How do I know all this? I looked at the javascript trojan and I disassembled - disassembly is as kind of decoding - the payload of Bagel (the rootkit) that I saved after I found some 6 months later. I still have the payload of Bagel sequestered in a zip in quarantine - in fact, I have a menagerie of dozens of viruses that I use to test antivirus programs.

  • Firewall rules for NSX through 2 vCentres

    I have 2 vCentres, 1 in each physical site, in bound mode and NSX (single component DFW) running on two of them. In each site, the ESX hosts in the pools where I installed NSX are behind a firewall, so I found this doc to get the required ports:

    6.2 NSX VMware vSphere Documentation Center

    I now have the ports to open for guests of ESX NSX managers/vCentre on each site server, i.e. rules allow of NSX Manager/vCentre/ESX hosts communicate within the site 1 only.

    I have similar firewall for site 2 rules.

    My question is, do I need the firewall rules to allow the Manager to communicate with the vCentre NSX site 1 and ESX hosts in site 2 and vice versa?

    Thanks for any help.

    Take a look at the annex in the latest version of the hardening guide - put him to date with some tricks to cross-VC.  You need primary and managers of NSX secondary to communicate for universal synchronization, two managers communicate with the Cluster of universal controller (site 1) and hosts on site 1 and 2 to be able to communicate with the UCC but I don't think you have to your site 2 vCenter/Hosts to communicate with the site 1 NSX Manager if I read it correctly.

  • How can I put the Windows XP firewall in a port configuration 'allow all' and only block some ports?

    Without going into the details of why I need to do this, I'm putting the firewall of Windows XP in one allow all the configuration of ports and only refuse some ports I have in a list.

    I train this script via the command-line batch with the netsh firewall add portopening command.  From what I've read, if enabled the firewall denies all traffic and only allows ports with exceptions, so through batch scripts, I opened all the 65 000 + ports TCP and UDP, essentially with the firewall turned on but in a configuration of "allow all the»  I don't deny the 100 or so ports to my list that I want blocked after they are all open.

    This strategy seems to work, but the problem I waited and I now see is that svchost.exe takes 50% of my CPU time, have to deal with constantly these firewall rules.

    "From what I've seen on Windows XP, there is no way to have the firewall ON, and in a configuration of" allow all the "" because the XP firewall may not have defined port ranges, they must be defined one by one.  It looks like Windows Vista or 7 would be much easier because the firewall has got a re vamp of advanced features.

    Does anyone have a suggestion on how to realize this "allow all", deny some' strategy?  I know it's a strange use of the Windows Firewall, so let's please jump in front of a 'why would you do this incredibly stupid thing?"messages.

  • How to allow browsing the Web via the Windows Vista firewall

    I'm trying to lock the outbound firewall rules on my PC. My thought is that if there is no malicious software on my PC, I would not communicate with other computers. To this end, I really want to allow connections from web browser and to make remote desktop connections. Public profile in the Windows my PC firewall is active. In addition, all inbound and outbound connections that do not match one of the active rules are blocked. I created an outbound rule custom firewall program that allows the %ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe program to establish connections. The rule is configured for all profiles and any Protocol (which probably should not be necessary). However, IE is still unable to connect. I'm rather confused and don't know what to do...

    Andrew

    Thank you all for all the great links :)  It turns out that the problem I had was the result of the creation of a firewall exception for the 64 bit version of Internet Explorer, rather than the 32-bit version.  When I changed the program that has been authorized by the firewall of %ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\iexplorer.exe \Internet.exe (x 86) % ProgramFiles %, I was once more able to connect to Internet by using IE.  Once again, thank you for all the links.  I think I understand a little better Windows Firewall now.

  • Windows 7 firewall, just after the power rules

    Hello

    Setting up a private workgroup-to-peer network (not homegroup, no servers or domain) of several PC windows 7.  Have all network connections, defined as 'private' of networks.  At that time, the private firewall is disabled, and the Public firwall is enabled.  Administration tool using remote third 3rd RAdmin connect and control the PC.

    Strange behavior just after turn on/off the PC.  Can ping from one PC to another, but RAdmin tool fails to connect to a PC on just.  The 'Public' windows firewall log shows the RAdmin TCP packet dropped.  Once someone has logged on locally to the computer and then connected to the wide, the RAdmin packages are no longer considered (fell or permitted) by the Public firewall, and the RAdmin progam works great.

    I added a test rule to allow all TCP traffic through any firewall from any PC, any user, any port, etc. (essentially large open) and still have the problem where RAdmin specific TCP packets are lost by the Public firewall.

    I can get it to work by setting the 'incoming connections' for the Public firewall to 'Always allow', but is not an acceptable solution.

    I worked with the provider of 3rd party s/w (famatech) and they also have no idea why it works this way.

    Any ideas how the Windows 7 firewall works right after that the PC is on, but before the user login?  Any ideas how can I do an acceptable firewall rule which will be in force after powering on, but before that the user log?

    Thank you in advance for any help or any other ideas,

    Rick

    Answered my own question.  Found that a set Local GPO do not merge rules defined by the user.  When I moved the RAdmin rule throughout the local Group Policy object, problem goes away.

  • RVL200 - SSL VPN and firewall rules

    Forgive my ignorance, but I have been immersed in the configuration of this device RVL200 to allow Remoting SSL VPN to a customer site, sight unseen.  I have the basics of the VPN set up in config, but now move the firewall rules.  We want to block all internal devices to access the Internet, but I don't want to cripple the remote clients that will be borrowed by blocking their return via the SSL VPN traffic.  This leads to my questions:

    (1) a rule of DENIAL of coverage for all traffic OUTBOUND will prevent the primary function of the VPN (to allow the administration away from machines on the local network)?

    (2) if the answer to #1 is 'Yes', what ports/services do I need to open the side LAN?

    (3) building # 2, configuring authorized outbound rules apply only for VPN clients, rather than all the hosts on LAN?

    (4) as the default INCOMING traffic rule is to REFUSE EVERYTHING, do I have to create a rule to allow the VPN tunnel, or guess that in the configuration of the router?

    Here are some other details:

    • The LAN behind the RVL200 is also isolated LAN in a manufacturing environment
    • All hosts on this network have a static IP address on a single subnet.
    • The RVL200 has been configured with a static, public IP on the WAN/INTERNET side.
    • DHCP has been disabled on the RVL200
    • Authentication to the device will use a local database.
    • There is no such thing as no DNS server on the local network
    • The device upstream of the RVL200 is a modem using PPPoE DSL, and the device has been configured for this setting.
    • Several database of local users accounts were created to facilitate the SSL VPN access.

    I worked with other aspects of it for a long time, but limited experience with VPN and the associated firewall rules and zero with this family of aircraft.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    aponikikay, there is no port forwarding necessary to the function of the RVL200 SSL - VPN.

    Topic 1. That is not proven. It shouldn't do. The router should automatically make sure that the SSL - VPN router service is functional and accessible.

    Re 2. No transfer necessary. In addition, never before TCP/UDP port 47 or 50 for VPN functions. The TCP 1723 port is used for PPTP. UDP 500 is used for ISAKMP. You usually also to transmit TCP/UDP 4500 port for IPSec encapsulation.

    Let's not port 47. ERM is an IP protocol that is used for virtual private networks. It is a TCP or UDP protocol. GRE has 47 IP protocol number. It has nothing to do with TCP or UDP port 47. TCP and UDP are completely different protocols of free WILL.

    It goes the same for 50: ESP is the payload for IPSec tunnels. ESP is the Protocol IP 50. It has nothing to do with TCP or UDP port 50.

    'Transfer' of the GRE is configured with PPTP passthrough option.

    'Transfer' of the ESP is configured with IPSec passthrough option.

  • How to import a TXT file in my list of firewall rules?

    Good then I exported a list of firewall rules in a txt file. I then copied on some firewall rules. Then I saved the file txt and I wonder how I can re - import the txt file. Please note that I don't know of import policy...

    UH I thank you for responding, but apparently you misunderstood what I meant... When I go into windows firewall, there is an option to export the list of rules I want to know is how to re - import this list of rules in because there is no other choice... If so how do I do?

    Since I couldn't find a solution that I found something different that also works. I found a .bat file that you can put in the folder in which you want to block the program and it crashes all the exe files in this folder and all subfolders. You can even choose a fix before custom firewall rule... If any other person having this problem follow the instructions, I provide below:

    I watched for centuries, trying to find a way to block several files .exe to Windows 7 only once; It seems that the only method was to create my own batch (windows script) file.
    I've added below for anyone to use / modify for their own purposes.
     
     
    Run the commands below (addfwrs.bat) file, will create inbound AND outbound firewall rules that block all .exe files in your chosen folder and subfolders to access internet.
    Very useful.
     
    To use:

    (1) place addfwrs.bat in the folder in which you want to block .exe programs (it crashes all the programs exe in no matter what subfolders if you can place it in a folder without any exe it blocks)
    exe in several subfolders both programs)

    (2) now run CMD as administrator.

    (3) copy the new directory (eg. c:\Programs Files (x 86) \YourProg\) where you put the addfwrs.bat file

    (4) paste it into the directory with "cd" CMD and a space before the directory (example: cd c:\Programs Files (x 86) \YourProg\) and press ENTER.

    (5) now run the batch file by typing: addfwrs.bat "rulename" example: addfwrs "BLOCK_PROGRAM_NAME_HERE".
    (Make sure there is no space in the rulename of the firewall rule, so use underscores as spaces.)

    N.B: It is important that you add a rulename firewall, so that you can identify the rules when adding to the firewall at a later date.

    (6) follow the information on the screen, he will advise you what rules he is creating.

    (7) check the Windows Firewall for new rules listed and you can then delete the addfwrs.bat file where you put it (it is necessary even if you can keep it somewhere for later).

    Quite.  Hope you find it useful, I certainly have!
    Enjoy!

    N.B: The new rules contained in the bosom of your firewall (In/Out rules), change as and when you need.
