Is it possible to allow a cmd command line script in the firewall of windows?

Question

I have a cmd file with this command line:

curl.exe --output index.html --url https://aaaa.com

But I get an error that says it is not possible to communicate with the url in the port xxx.

If I create a rule for the tcp port XXX the it works, but I would like to know if it is possible to create a rule for an application, in this case is a cmd script, but I the wizard to create the rule it only allows .exe applications, no batch files.

So I would like to know if it is possible to create a rule for a cmd instead to open the port.

Thanks.

Answer 1

You cannot create a firewall rule that will pertains to all the commands that are included in a batch script or a CMD session.

You need to create a rule for each program that makes internet calls that is found inside the batch script or a CMD session.

In this case, this means creating a rule for curl.exe.
