One question about Windows Firewall
I don't understand one thing about custom rules in Windows Firewall.
I'm having a hard time articulating this in my head, so bear with me.
When creating a custom rule, one has the option to specify a program. Say I specified the correct program and port. But then, in the services section, the default setting is to "Apply to ALL programs and services". What does that even mean? Does that mean that I'm allowing inbound connections on said port for all programs and services? Then what's the point of specifying an individual application, if the rule is applied to all programs and services? Understand?
I'm assuming that "all programs and services" refers to those being used by the program I specified, but I'm not sure.
I'd appreciate it if someone could explain this to me. :)
