What is All ports in in inbound rules


i have seen   in windows firewall  for rules , under protocol , ports local port , remort port  are  set 'all ports'  and  protocol type 'any' .if  case  and windows firewall turned on ,  if  create  one rule block  most of ports happen

firewall rules have different other attributes set associated rule, example service name, there may exist rule says particualar service ports open protocol. there exist process or service uses dynamic ports based on each client request. in such scenario these rules valuable.

by default inbound ports blocked firewall(yes few exception, based on out of box rules), dont need create rule blocking ports. still can create if scenario requries that. in case have 2 conflicting rules 1 allows , other denies traffic, deny rule of more weight , overrides allow rule.

 

hope helps!
