A. By default, the firewall is configured to block outbound as well as inbound connections. If you want to allow certain inbound applications through, select Control Panel, Allow a program through Windows Firewall (under Security), and use the Exceptions screen. To configure outbound connections and to customize the Windows Firewall in various ways, type wf.msc at a command prompt and press Enter. The resulting Windows Firewall with Advanced Security screen will give you control over many aspects of the firewall.
