Hi, Based on my understanding, I know that an error encounters when you try to configure Windows Vista Firewall to support outbound packet filtering. Is this right? To make the issue clear, please also collect the following information: 1. Do you have any special network connections such as VPN, or encrypted wireless connections? 2. Please post the exact error message or screenshot. 3. Please check the event log to see if there are any related error messages. At this time, I suggest restoring the firewall settings to default to see if it helps: Note: please perform a full system backup before performing the steps. 1. Click the Start Button. 2. In the search bar type wf.msc and press Enter. 3. Right-click the root Windows Firewall with Advanced Security on Local Computer and choose Restore Defaults. 4. After the message box appeared, click Yes. Please check the issue after the steps above. Thanks!

Hi, I understand that you have a VPN connection and you hesitate to restore the firewall settings to default. Actually, restoring the firewall settings is just a check on narrowing down the issue and we can back up the settings before restoring to default. If the issue persists after resetting the settings, we can restore the settings back to present with the backup copy. At this time, to make our issue clear, please also collect the following information: 1. Please let me know the detail steps of enabling outbound of the Windows Firewall. 2. Pleases capture a screenshot on the error and attach it to this thread. Thanks!
