1.5 Filtering one or more IP addresses on the Windows firewall

Sign in to the server via RDP;
click Start and type Firewall;
select Windows Defender Firewall;
in the panel, select Advanced settings from the list on the left;
Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security will open;
select Inbound Rules from the list on the left;
the available rules will be displayed;
click a rule to view its properties;
in the Scope section, there are two methods for filtering IP addresses:
- Local IP address
- Remote IP address
All servers are exposed to the public network, so you must select the These IP addresses option in the Remote IP address section.
enter one or more IP addresses using the Add... button;
apply the changes using the Apply button at the bottom right;
after saving the changes, connections to the server from IP addresses that are not included in the list will be dropped;
if you entered one or more incorrect IP addresses, repeat the procedure to edit the list of filtered IP addresses.
