Question

A specific remote device with a fixed IP address must be able to access your computer across the network. It must be able to access the computer using any protocol. Which of the following exceptions in Windows Firewall should you make?

Service

Application

Protocol

IP

Answer 1

IP address as it clearly isn't an application and nor is it a protocol.

Answer 2

Answer: IP Address.

The IP Address of certain devices can be included as an exception by configuring the Windows Firewall. The user will have to create a custom rule in the inbound rules of the computer. The user will then have to add the IP address of the remote device as an exception to access the computer. Users can also configure their Windows Firewall by accessing the Control Panel > Windows Firewall > Advanced Settings.
