Resolve blocked communication

Troubleshooting wizard helps you resolve connectivity problems caused by the Firewall. Select if you want to show communication blocked for Local applications or blocked communication from Remote devices.

Select a time period from the drop-down menu during which communication has been blocked. A list of recently blocked communications gives you an overview of the application type or device, reputation, and the total number of applications and devices blocked during that period. For more details about blocked communication, click Details.

The next step is to unblock the application or device you are experiencing connectivity problems.

When you click Unblock, the previously blocked communication will be allowed. If you continue to experience problems with an application or your device does not work as expected, click creating another rule, and all communications previously blocked for that device will now be allowed. If the issue persists, restart the computer.

Click Open Firewall rules to see rules created by the wizard.

If the rule cannot be created, you will receive an error message. Click Try again and repeat the process to unblock communication, or create another rule from the list of blocked communication.
