Block outgoing connections Firewall Windows 10

The Windows Defender Firewall is one of the security mechanisms built into Windows 10 which is responsible, among many things, for managing the rules for data entry and exit. The Windows Defender Firewall performs a detailed analysis to define whether a network packet, a service or an application is legal and does not contain data that could put the integrity of the system at risk..

 

One of these sections are the system's output connections which allow us to establish communications with the external world, internet networks, applications, etc., for this reason it is delicate to configure the permissions of these from Windows Defender and if for any support reason or Security requires blocking these connections, TechnoWikis will explain how to block them in Windows 10 through the Firewall.
