Windows Firewall - Advanced Security
Greetings,I'd like to know if Windows firewall is able to filter and block net traffic based on the interface/profile used. I have two connections at the same time (Local Network and a 3G USB modem) and I want specific traffic to be blocked in the 3G interface. Regards.W7 RC x64 running....

If you create a new custom rule you can specify the interface, IP address, and/or profile that the rule applies to.Kerry Brown MS-MVP - Windows Desktop Experience

I tried creating a rule to block outgoing port 80 on my wireless interface. It worked as desired. You may want to block 443 as well.Note that for the local port you have to specify All ports and then port 80 for the remote. When blocking outgoing traffic the remote port is the important one.Kerry Brown MS-MVP - Windows Desktop Experience
