1. Windows Firewall rules have the following parameters that can be edited:

1. Name – the name of the rule you are viewing.
2. Group – the group the rule belongs to. Generally, the group describes the app or the Windows feature the rule belongs to. For example, rules that apply to a specific app or program will have the app/program name as the group. Rules that are related to the same networking feature, e.g. File and Printer Sharing, will have as a group name the feature they relate to.
3. Profile – the network location/profile the rule is applied to: private, public, or domain (for business networks with network domains).
4. Enabled – it tells you whether the rule is enabled and applied by Windows Firewall or not.
5. Action – the action can “Allow” or “Block” based on what the rule is supposed to do.
6. Override – tells you whether that rule overrides an existing block rule. By default, all rules should have the value “No” for this parameter.
7. Program – the desktop program the rule applies to.
8. Local address – tells you whether the rule is applied only when your computer has a specific IP address or not.
9. Remote address – tells you whether the rule is applied only when devices with specific IP addresses are connected or not.
10. Protocol – shares the network protocols for which the rule is applied.
11. Local port – tells you whether the rule is applied for connections made on specific local ports or not.
12. Remote port – tells you whether the rule is applied for connections made on specific remote ports or not.
13. Authorized users – the user accounts for which the rule is applied (for inbound rules only).
14. Authorized computers – computers for which the rule is applied.
15. Authorized local principals – the user accounts for which the rule is applied (for outbound rules only).
16. Local user owner – the user account which is set as the owner/creator of the rule.
17. Application package – this applies only to apps from the Windows Store and it shares the package name of the app the rule applies to.
