I wish to make a firewall rule to do the following for one single specific program executable file that I specify:. I have tried doing this in many ways, but none of them work. By default, Windows Firewall blocks incoming connections unless you specifically permit them. Since I did not permit incoming connections for this program, this is not a problem.

After doing this procedure, the rule was created. However, it doesn't work. On the other hand, if I create a rule to block outgoing for all IPs, that works. I even tried creating two rules - one to block all outgoing connections, and the second to specifically allow outgoing connection to one single IP. In that case, it just blocks all, including the one I want to allow. Was this reply helpful?

Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. Thanks, I figured this out a few days ago. Unfortunately, this is not the solution I was looking for.

Although I have since switched to Norton Firewall, I will post what I found out here, for others who might have the same problem. Here is what I wanted to do: I wanted to select certain programs on my computer, and 1 block all inbound connections to them, plus 2 block all outbound connections made by them, except 3 allow outbound connections made by those programs only to the specific IPs that I permit.

This cannot be done with the default firewall behavior, which is to allow all outbound connections made by all programs. You can indeed make a firewall rule like the one I described above, but Windows will simply ignore it. So while your rule says "block all outbound except to this specific IP", in fact Windows will allow all outbound connections to all IPs.

This is because the default behavior of the Windows firewall is to allow all outbound connections freely. As you said, this default can be changed to block all outbound connections.
