Disable Firewall prompt windows

Postby Rachit3001 » Tue Feb 23, 2021 1:25 am

Hi everyone,

We have been trying to remove the firewall prompt which comes by in windows. We have used disable NetworkSecurity flag as per the discussions https://magpcss.org/ceforum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=17854. This change removed the firewall warning but lead to an issue in the custom pod where the XMLHttpRequest post request is null in custom pod JS code. The issue is also discussed here:

Is there some flag or some way in which we could disable the firewall prompt without getting or affecting xmlhttprequest-empty-responsetext??

Are you able to add the firewall rule as part of your application installer?

The prompt isn't something you can disable, at best you can avoid using features that require additional firewall rules, standard http/https traffic shouldn't require additional rules with the default windows firewall setup in my experience, enterprise security policies likely differ.

If you've tried my suggestion at viewtopic.php?f=6&t=17854#p46727 without success then you'll have to determine what rule is being created protocol/port etc and see what features use that port/protocol combination. You'll need to do your own research.

Adding the firewall rule is the option I'd strongly recommend.
