Windows Firewall with Advanced Security is a host-based firewall integrated into the Windows Server operating system. It filters both incoming (inbound) and outgoing (outbound) network traffic based on a defined set of rules.

Configuring the firewall allows you to control access to services and applications on your server. Common tasks include creating rules to open specific ports, restricting access to trusted IP addresses, and closing unused ports. These actions manage traffic flow and reduce the server’s attack surface.

This collection of articles will guide you through the most common tasks and configurations for managing the Windows Firewall on your Liquid Web server.
