Zerotier on Windows firewall rule question ...
-
I've been playing around with zerotier and I had a question regarding firewall rules on windows 10.
I have found that in addition to the rules that the zerotier installer adds, I have to make a custom inbound rule to allow my zerotier subnet. For instance I have to add the following inbound allow rule in the windows firewall where 10.243.0.0/16 is my zerotier network subnet:
Interestingly, if the clients are both Windows 7 machines then this rule does not appear to be necessary, the Windows 7 machines will communicate with each other without it. However once one of the clients is a windows 10 machine then both clients require this rule, even a Win10<->Win7 connection.
I can't find any documentation to support this so it makes me think I have missed something. Has anyone else observed this behavior with the zerotier client on a windows 10 machine?

I never have to make any rules to enable communication on a ZeroTier interface.

@BraswellJay - check which firewall profile is selected for your ZeroTier interface. Is it set for public on your computer or the computer you are trying to access?

They are set to work networks on both:
All of the firewall rules are set to apply to all profiles:
