Using Windows Firewall to block a specific IP on Windows 10

9

3

For some reason I'm having some site pestering my LogMeIn account with a bad login. It is consistently the same IP. Rather than relying upon LogMeIn's rudimentary login security I'd rather entirely block that IP entirely. How do I do that using Windows Firewall?

Open Windows Firewall with Advanced Security by running wf.msc. On the left, select Inbound Rules, then under the Action menu, choose New Rule.

  • On the Rule Type page, choose Custom.
  • On Program, choose "All programs."
  • On Protocol and Ports, leave the default of Any.
  • On Scope, select "These IP addresses" in the remote addresses section and add the problematic IP address in the Add dialog.
  • On Action, choose "Block the connection."
  • On Profile, leave the defaults of everything checked.
  • Finally, on Name, give the rule a name and optionally a description.

@greenber It's one of the steps in the New Inbound Rule Wizard that appears once you select Custom on the first (Rule Type) page. – Ben N – 2016-12-22T21:22:45.727
