| Sep 3, 2011 at 23:10 | comment | added | Mina | i see, so i'm misunderstanding the meaning of private then. thanks for the info, i'll just remove that profile and see how it goes~ i assumed private meant hosts on my lan, is it possible to set a rule to allow any lan hosts? | |
| Sep 3, 2011 at 23:02 | comment | added | ta.speot.is | What does "allow connections from private only" mean? If your network profile for the connection is "Private" and you port forward from your router's WAN interface to your PC then connections on this port will be treated as "Private" regardless of origin. You've said that "I'm running on this profile so use these sets of rules". As for localhost only, remove any exceptions. Local traffic doesn't go through the firewall. | |
| Sep 3, 2011 at 22:55 | comment | added | Mina | the firewall is set to block all incoming connections that aren't on the list of allowed programs for both private and public networks. the profile of the rule is set to allow connections from private only. what can i do to make that work as i intend (only localhost can access the service)? | |
