I googled to find firewall settings to secure my server and i've found this:


-May someone explain what did he mean with 5 & 6 ?
-Also are these the right settings should i do or there are more ?

Thanks

1. Control panel => System and Security => Windows Firewall => "Turn Windows Firewall on or off"

Screenshot:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

2. Save the settings.
3. Go back to Windows Firewall in Control Panel.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

4. Click "Advanced settings".

5. Click "Outbound Rules"
6. Delete everything inside.

7. Click "Inbound Rules"
8. Click New Rule...
9. Note: If you changed Remote desktop port to something else you must forward that.

10. After done with adding the new rule, name it something. Later remove everything inside "Inbound Rules" except the one you just added obviously.

Have fun :3

His way of doing it bad, rather just doing it my way. Cause in my way you don't need to block ports. Ports are blocked as default, you only need to forward the needed ports.

+ You do not need ODBC for vSRO, useless.
