Yes, Windows 10 needs outbound rules configured.
Hello Community, I've finally switched to Windows 10 and found it to be a solid experience overall, especially thanks to openshell. However, the firewall remains a bit tricky—initially I set it up securely by blocking all outbound traffic, but I'm having trouble locating clear guidance on which processes need outbound access for the security features to function properly. There are countless resources explaining how to configure the firewall, but I've been using Windows 7 for years and don't have much insight into what executables are required. I'm looking for specific EXE files that allow through. Appreciate any advice you can offer! Best regards, Chief
Identify applications requiring external access. Restrict services that should not interact over the web. Limiting outbound traffic can occasionally delay program performance since systems attempting connections must pause while awaiting replies.
