About this tag
The Windows Firewall tag covers discussions about configuring and using the built-in firewall in Windows 10 and Windows 11. Topics include creating outbound block rules to prevent apps from accessing the internet, setting up a VPN kill switch that blocks all traffic when the VPN disconnects, and interpreting firewall log entries such as blocked connections from rundll32.exe. These threads focus on practical, intermediate-level firewall management for privacy, security, and network control without third-party software.
