Enable windows 10 firewalls. Disable through Services

The developers have tried to comprehensively protect the operating system from threats both from inside and outside. Almost every computer has active connection to the network, therefore there is a special software package on guard - a firewall. Sometimes it also blocks harmless, but necessary connections, so many are interested in how to disable the firewall in Windows 10: let's figure it out and find out what its function is in the system.

What is a firewall

All this is the name of the same thing - a set of programs that monitor the current connection and prevent data that carry a threat from penetrating the PC. The main functions of the firewall are as follows:

1. Tracking suspicious connections. In particular, attempts by programs to independently send information are blocked (there may be authorization data and credit card numbers).
2. Block unused ports and control traffic in open ones. The software warns the user about attempts to infiltrate information not requested in the browser or other programs.
3. Tracking running or downloaded programs. If the software is not opened for the first time, then the firewall operates according to the principle antivirus software looking for changes in the code.

Features are very important, especially when you are constantly surfing the Internet, so is it worth turning off Windows 10 Firewall?

Hi guys What is a firewall in general and why I personally don't recommend disabling it? Firewall, or as it is called in English Firewall, is a program that looks at which programs climb into the network, and she herself knows how to do this and which cannot.

That is, the firewall is what controls network connections in Windows. In a sense, this is even more important than the work of the antivirus ... And I will try in simple words explain why ...

Is this what an antivirus does? Antivirus looks at what you have on your computer, regularly checks it for viruses, or does it a little slowly, but constantly. There are all sorts of technologies like heuristic analysis and the like. Well, that is, the antivirus catches the virus and here I want to emphasize what it catches. The firewall has nothing to do with viruses at all, it just controls the access to the Internet for programs. Those programs that have a bad reputation - they will not be able to go online. And it could be a virus, or more specifically, a Trojan that wants to transfer data to its creator! That is, the antivirus may not immediately detect it, but the firewall will not allow such a stranger to access the network and the Trojan will not be able to transfer your passwords and logins to the hacker. Well, a little understandable? Hope so!

So about the importance of this firewall, I hope you understand. I'll write to you what I did, but if you want, you can not read it, but go straight to disabling the firewall in Windows 10. So look, I installed Outpost Firewall for myself (I think this is the best firewall) and allowed access to network only to a limited number of programs, and then put it into blocking mode. And now it only allows Internet access to those programs that I have added to the list! And everyone else is banned. That is, you understand that now no matter what kind of virus I have, it will not be able to send anything to the hacker, since access to the Internet will be blocked for him!

Well that's it! Now I will show you how to disable this firewall in Windows 10! So look, press right click on Start and select the Control Panel from the menu (and this menu can still be called with the Win + X buttons):

Then, among the icons, look for Windows Firewall and launch it:

Then such a window will open, here you click on this button:

Now look, here you will have two settings and here you need to tick off both of them, that is, both above and below:

So that is all! Now you have disabled the firewall in Windows 10, after which there will be such a window with red stripes, well, like the computer is in danger:

But since I am already writing about disabling Windows security, I will already write how to disable the defender!

How to disable Windows 10 Defender permanently?

The defender, in contrast to the firewall, already performs a slightly different role, it is essentially a built-in antivirus. But as you understand, due to the fact that it is a Windows antivirus, few people like it precisely because it is Windows. And many want to disable it, because they install a third-party antivirus, and for some users this defender protects so that the computer already slows down, here such things gentlemen!

To disconnect, go to the Control Panel again and run the icon there. Windows Defender:

Then a window will open where you need to click on Options:

The Windows settings window will start, there you need to move all the sliders so that they are in the Off state:

After that, the Defender himself will blush:

Well, that's all, I showed you how to disable the built-in Defender and Firewall (aka firewall). But look carefully and do not disable them just like that, but only when you really need it, well, for example, if you are going to install a third-party antivirus.

But I have prepared another bonus for you. In general, there is one recipe for how to turn off everything, well, in general, all this telemetry, spyware, all these protections, security ... All this stuff can be turned off using the utility. It disables not only spyware, but everything else, in general, I advise you to look at this utility!

Well, that's all, I hope that I wrote everything right here and that everything was clear to you. I wish you good luck and so that you have no problems and everything is nice

Windows Firewall (aka firewall) is responsible for security operating system and protects it from external malicious attacks. To effectively protect their computer, each user must know how to work with a firewall and what alternatives can be applied to it.

Do I need Windows 10 firewall

Definitely needed. Here simplest example: v latest versions Windows (starting with 7) became available joint device management in one local network... This is why multiple computers in offices can access the same printer or any other device. When you disconnect your PC from the network, you do not even think about the danger that "unsafe disconnection" can pose. The fact is that attackers can easily connect to a computer in order to realize their dirty intentions. It is worth making a reservation that they cannot, but could. They could if the firewall was not built into the system. The firewall does not allow "dangerous" inbound and outbound traffic and blocks suspicious activity, which helps keep you and your device safe.

Why does it block applications

The firewall blocks programs due to the fact that it already has a built-in "moral code" - a set of rules, violation of which prevents a data packet from being downloaded to a computer. These rules can be changed at your discretion. If you want - deny all connections to your device, if you want - block access to the Internet for a particular program, if it causes distrust. Blocking various resources helps make your online experience safer.

How reliable is Windows 10 firewall

The built-in firewall performs the same functions as downloadable antiviruses. In contrast, it sends notifications much less frequently, has no ads, and does not require paid activation. The firewall works in background continuously and cannot shut down without your command. Therefore, you can rely on it and not resort to the help of additional software... If the application requires access to certain parameters of your computer, a request will come from the firewall, which you will have to confirm.

The firewall asks for user confirmation to continue the program

Updating the firewall

Updating the firewall is a controversial and rather negative thing. The fact is that it does not carry any important functions, but it often takes a considerable amount of time. Therefore, some people prefer to turn off firewall auto-update.

The Firewall control application is one of the auxiliary programs and is responsible for data security and protects against leakage of this data into the network. The program monitors the operation of ports and allows you to choose on what conditions applications will connect to the network.

The program interface is simple and concise

Operating Windows system guarantees the safety of data under certain conditions. The main one is the use of standard tools for PC protection: Windows Defender utilities and the built-in Defender Firewall. The second utility is especially important as it protects your PC from various network threats.

What is a firewall, why is it needed

Windows Firewall - Built in Microsoft Windows firewall. Introduced in Windows XP SP2. One of the differences from its predecessor (Internet Connection Firewall) is the control of program access to the network. Windows Firewall is part of the Windows Security Center.

Wikipedia

https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Firewall

A firewall is a special environment for protecting Windows from external threats. It prevents the introduction of malicious codes and viruses into the system, and also blocks potentially dangerous connections of programs with unverified servers. It is especially important to have a working firewall for corporate networks and servers. For home PCs, the need for a firewall is significantly reduced, but it is still not recommended to turn it off for a long time.

How to enable or disable firewall in Windows 10

Enabling and disabling the built-in firewall can be done in several management interfaces of the system, so each user will have a way to their liking. There are four official firewall management tools in total:

• "Control Panel";
• command line terminal;
• Windows Service Environment;
• operating system registry;
• through the management of the embedded Windows Defender antivirus.

In each of the above tools, you can completely disable or enable the firewall.

Through the "Control Panel"

"Control Panel" is an important configuration site Windows components... The firewall is included in this list, so the disabling can be done in the computer management environment.

When is it better not to completely disable the firewall, but only to block some of its functions

A firewall often prevents applications, browsers and other programs from fully functioning on the network and this is the main reason to turn it off completely. However, deactivating the firewall can negatively affect security and make your computer more vulnerable. Therefore, it is worth considering not to disable the firewall completely, but to force it to ignore the very application that you trust.

Adding an application to the firewall exceptions list

When an application is added to the list of exclusions, the firewall stops monitoring the program and all its activities. This means that the application will no longer experience any restrictions when trying to connect to the server.

1. Open the firewall, as shown above, through the "Control Panel".
2. Go to the "Allow interaction ..." environment.
   Open the link "Allow interaction with an application or component in the firewall"
3. Press the button "Change parameters".
   Click on "Change parameters"
4. We put a checkmark in front of the application to allow it to work smoothly on the network, then save the changes with the OK button.
   We put a checkmark in front of the application to allow it to work
5. If there is no program you need in the proposed list, click the "Allow another application" button, write the path to the desired file with the extension .exe and click "Add".
   Through the interface "Allow another application" add the program to the list
6. We launch the application and try again the connection with the web.

How to set a rule for ports in a firewall

Ports are special tunnels that allow you to download more packages of information. However, ports pose a vulnerability to a firewall because the more ports are open, the more threats they pose to the security of the system.

Port management takes place in additional installations of Windows Defender Firewall.

1. Open the menu "Start" - "Administrative Tools" - "Firewall Monitor". Through the "Start" menu, open the "Firewall Monitor"
2. In the dialog box on the left, click on "Inbound Rules".
   To view the established rules, click on "Rules for Inbound Connections"
3. Next, on the right, click "Create Rule".
   On the right, click "Create Rule"
4. We put the toggle switch on the item "For the port" and click "Next".

   Setting the types of networks to apply the rule
6. Then just write a name for the rule so that it doesn't get lost and click "Finish".
   Set a name and description for the rule, then click "Finish"
7. We reboot the computer.

How to completely remove Windows 10 Firewall from your computer

Unfortunately, removing the firewall is simply impossible: Windows does not have an interface for this service, and many kernel-related files provide it. However, it is possible to remove the service that is responsible for the firewall. After that, his work will end forever.

After uninstalling, you must restart your PC for the changes to take effect.

However, it is worth considering before proceeding with the removal of the service, as it will not be easy to restore it. In addition, destroying the defense mechanism could adversely affect the security of the system in the future.

Windows Firewall is very easy to work with. It can be turned on and off, and a number of exceptions can be added to the operating rules. Moreover, all performed actions will take no more than a minute of time.
