Firewall Rules

To ensure proper communication with other data analysis tools on the PC, it is strongly recommended to set firewall rules which allow free inbound and outbound communication.
- Inbound and Outbound rules are needed for WDServer and WinDarab (if you are using WinDarab as your data analysis tool).

Inbound Rule

1. Open Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security, using Run as administrator.

2. 

2. Create a new Inbound Rule for WDServer.
   On the left side of the window, click on Inbound Rules.

On the right side of the window, click on New Rule.

1. Next, choose to add a rule for Program.
   Choose to add This program path and navigate to your WDServer installation folder. By default, this will be C:/Bosch/WDServer. Select WDServer.exe as the program to allow, then click on Open.

2. 

2. Optionally, at this step look for the part of the file path that says %SystemDrive%\, and replace with the drive letter, for example, C:\
3. Then, click Next again to allow the connection.
4. Click Next again to apply the rule for all network types.
5. Create a name for the rule and click Finish.

Outbound Rule

Once the Inbound Rule is created, repeat the same steps in the Outbound Rules menu, to create a rule allowing outbound traffic for the WDServer.exe program.

Note: The difference in steps between Inbound Rule and Outbound Rule setup, is to change "Block the connection" to "Allow the connection" on the screen after selecting the WDServer.exe program.
