Windows Firewall

The topic of Windows Firewall came up again today when a site had turned it on
When I asked "Shouldnt there be a way to write rules in the windows firewall so that we could just keep it on?"
He replied: "look into that, and see what you can find. It would have been better for the vendor to add that to their image they give us to boot the POS but if you can find a way to do it we can try it that way." -

Or just visit the vendor website and see what ports it uses... You can get the info from resource monitor too. That's how I usually find out... It's quicker.

Ran netstat in CMD as admin.
Do I use the Foreign address or the IP address? -
