About firewall settings

[Kardil]

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

 Spoiler

1- Enable FireWall
Control Panel --> Windows FireWall --> Change Notification settings --> Select Turn ON Windows FireWall --> OK
2- Secure Ports
Control Panel --> Windows FireWall --> Advanced Setting --> Inbound Rule --> New Rule --> Select Port --> Next --> TCP --> Specific local ports 15880, 15882, 15885, 15883, 32000, 8080, 1433, 3306, 445, 8010, 80 --> Block the Connection --> Next --> Type name --> Finish
3- Allow POrts to let Player Play
Control Panel --> Windows FireWall --> Advanced Setting --> Inbound Rule --> New Rule --> Select Port --> Next --> TCP --> Specific local ports 15779 --> Allow the Connection --> Next --> Type name --> Finish
4- Allow EXE to Run Server
Control Panel --> Windows FireWall --> Allow a program or feature through Windows FireWall --> Allow another program --> Browse --> Add all Server EXE (Global - Download - Gateway ......etc + Add Filezill.exe to allow Guild Emblem)
5- Set SQL For Local Onlt [Disable TCP/IP]
6- Add ODBC in System DNS Tab

-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:


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

Screenshot:


4. Click "Advanced settings".

Screenshot:


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

Screenshot:


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

Screenshot:




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.
