    Put an 'allow-all' policy as the top-most policy? As in 'from any (interface), to any, src all, dst all, service ALL, action ACCEPT'.

    will still be routing though.

    I would not do that, if it's one application that place a rule for just that. src host with any services. In fact you should use the diag debug flow and possible diag sniffer packet and actually trouble with diagnostics and traces on what is and is not happening.

     

    Just my 2cts input

    I suppose the Windows default Firewall will jump on once I disable my custom firewall. Do I need to follow these steps after that? Kindly guide.
