Save HOURS of Troubleshooting With One Setting in Windows Firewall

[@dono42]

I've been doing this for years on all of the system that I administer. I prefer the log file though. One other recommendation: while enabling logging on failed packets, set the file name to domain.log, private.log, and public.log, respectively. This way you can easily know which profile is blocking it.

[@dltSystem32]

Thanks mate 💪👍

[@ThioJoe]

Great tip

@user-rj4ub4gd8c Aaaaand there comes the scammer!

[@johanponken]

How'd you go about doing that (having already done the steps in this vid)?

[@OGTG-TV]

This just solved a year long issue at a dental office I recently took over the IT support for. The Event Viewer step is key. I found my issue in under 10 seconds and had it fixed in 60. Great video. Thanks

[@vitaligent]

This is extremely useful content. More of this, please.

[@_aullik]

Thanks. Didn't know you could actually show that in the event viewer. That will be an improvement over the honestly horrible log.

[@makhauser42]

A bit to add here, you can see the XML tab, abd put it through (multi-line string) Get-WinEvent command with the parameter -FilterXML, and choose whatever columns you want to see, and then export it to csv/excel/html/whatever format. Just in one line. It's easy and elegant, and PowerShell was meant to be usable in such ways as well

@@dab42bridges80, yeah, me too. A 'proud' owner of the PS books library. Posted some instructions here, but they were deleted, totally understandable, as links might be dangerous. Maybe I will have some time or motivation to write a post on my technical blog about it, but it is unlikely

WOAH WOAH WOAH… I’ve been watching this guy for two years now and just realised I haven’t been subscribed the whole time. That changed today. June 8th, 00:00 BST

[@Wolterhon]

Extremely useful. Thank you

[@The1Corrupted]

Fantastic video. I was interested in going against Windows Firewall convention to build a whitelist for outgoing connections (default allows all outgoing but block incoming) as a way to further harden a Windows system.

[@papajohnscookie]

This is great thanks. I usually just quickly turn off the firewall if I'm having issues to verify that it's responsible

[@AlexeyElishaVoloshin]

Thanks for these useful things. I am missing an explanation of the line you've executed in a Command Prompt. What was it (Registry intervention) and is it reversible?

[@4zims]

Will this affect performance? Maybe it's off by default for a reason.

[@scottsparling2591]

Very cool. Thank you! This should be helpful when I'm trying to SSH and can't tell if I have a bad SSH config, or if FW is blocking SSH.

[@lukioou5981]

I always have problems with minecraft multiplayer, my firewall keeps autoblocking minecraft even though I click on allow access. I think it's because every time you add mods it creates another instance of Minecraft that's new for the computer

create a permission for the folder it's in instead of the executable 👍

Nah Joe it would have to be fine tuned according with storage space available to the system. Like , imagine running this default without rotating the log, it would be a mess and users will (rightfully) complain about space

[@mario_vasquez_]

thanks is this something that Wireshark logs? I am currently installing it and wanting to learn it.

[@Cevans3535]

Wireshark logs literally all activity on whatever NIC(s) you tell it to monitor. The important thing to know is how to filter for the information you're looking for and how to make any sense of it. Wireshark is extremely useful, but has quite a steep learning curve and takes a good amount of knowledge to use it effectively. Stick with it! It's a skill that not enough people have!

If spend weeks troubleshooting world of warcraft system freezes while sound contineus without result no hardware issues or anything, heck the same game works just fine on Linux no problem, as well as other games on Windows. Sometimes its complete BS. Those that wanna help me figure it out be aware if already possibly tried everything, literally even swapping components and getting the same result.

[@Mr.Unacceptable]

I'm having an issue with W10 seeing my network devices and NAS. My Dlink NAS has it's own app and can see the device but refuses to communicate with it or sign in. what windows setting should i look into to fix this network problem. I fixed my desktop to function but now I've forgotten what the solution was when it's time to get my new laptop to connect. I'm hardwired. Everything else works. Just windows refuses to connect with any networked hardware. Any help?

[@joecosgrove3593]

I do like these clips. This time however I have no idea what you are talking about. I either have a internet connection or I don't. I have never seen an app having individual trouble with the connection.

I really hate how you can't view these logs without having administrator access to the machine

[@ThioJoe]

Makes sense to me tbh

[@CnCDune]

@@ThioJoe Not really. Example: program in the office requires internet connection but somewhere Firewall is creating problems for that program when a non-admin is signed in. In my case, ANSYS mechanical (simulation program) is having trouble doing some specific calculations due to network issues, but only when a regular, non-admin user is signed in. We tried the exact same calculation while signed in as admin and it worked without any problems. This video might actually finally help pin the cause....
