Add IP address and URL to Windows Defender Firewall Exclusion

Question

_{Wednesday, December 6, 2017 6:02 AM}

Team.

Please let me know how to add a series of IP address and URL to Windows Defender Firewall in Windows 10 Enterprise N. 

One of my application is not opening and the technical support  of the application instructed me to white list the URL and IP address in Windows Defender Firewall as given below.

eg: -

52.70.61.153
52.70.61.184
52.1.273.164
52.6.21.244

*.asxyz.com

*.sync.app.asxyz.com

Please explain by which I can Whitelist the above in Windows Defender - Win 10.
I am not a Computer expert, so please give the guidelines step by step.

Thank you

Anil. K

Hi Anil. K,

To my knowledge, Windows Defender doesn’t have exclusions setting for IP address or website, we only can set  a file, file type, folder, or a process in Windows Defender’s Exclusions setting.

If you want to add IP address in white list, you need to configure it in built-in Windows Firewall.

Control panel > Windows Firewall > Advanced Settings (in the left side panel). This Opens up an mmc window for advanced firewall configuration.

In the left panel, choose Inbound or Outbound rules.

Right panel, click New rule.

In the dialog, choose "custom".

In the left again, go to "Scope." When you add an IP, you can add a range. Look at my picture, one thing I need to remind you, 52.1.273.164 is not a valid IP address.

Besides, about websites, you could configure IE browser’s security zone and Trusted sites to allow them.

Have a try.

Regards
