Windows Firewall with Advanced Security

Windows Firewall with Advanced Security (WFAS) allows you to create nuanced firewall rules .
For most users, the options available with Windows Firewall will be enough to keep their
computers secure .
If you are a more advanced user, however, you can use WFAS to:

 - Configure inbound and outbound rules . Windows Firewall does not allow you to create rules based on whether traffic is inbound or outbound .
 - Configure rules that apply based on protocol type and port address .
 - Configure rules that apply based on traffic that addresses specific services, rather than just specific applications .
 - Limit the scope of rules so that they apply based on traffic’s source or destination address .
 - Configure rules that allow traffic only if it is authenticated .
 - Configure connection security rules .
