🔧 Update v1.0.3 - Windows Firewall Rules Checking

🆕 New Feature: Windows Firewall Rules Analysis

  • ✅ Windows Firewall Integration: Added comprehensive Windows Firewall rules checking
  • ✅ Service Status Check: Verifies Windows Firewall service is running
  • ✅ Inbound/Outbound Rules: Queries both inbound and outbound firewall rules
  • ✅ Port-Specific Analysis: Finds rules that specifically affect your P2P port
  • ✅ Port Range Support: Detects rules for port ranges (e.g., 61336-61346)
  • ✅ Protocol Filtering: Focuses on TCP/UDP rules relevant to P2P
  • ✅ Detailed Reporting: Shows specific blocking/allowing rules found

How It Works

The tool now queries Windows Firewall using netsh commands to:

  1. Check Service Status: Verifies Windows Firewall service is active
  2. Query Inbound Rules: Finds rules affecting incoming connections
  3. Query Outbound Rules: Finds rules affecting outgoing connections
  4. Parse Rule Details: Extracts rule names, actions (Allow/Block), and ports
  5. Port Matching: Identifies rules that affect your specific P2P port
  6. Generate Report: Provides actionable information about firewall blocking

Example Output

Windows (with firewall rules):

⚠️ Windows Firewall Rules: WARNING
   Firewall rules may block this port
   Details: Inbound blocking: 1 rules | Outbound blocking: 0 rules | Inbound allowing: 0 rules | Outbound allowing: 2 rules | Blocking inbound rules: - Block P2P Ports (Block)

Non-Windows (skipped):

✅ Windows Firewall Rules: SKIP
   Windows Firewall check not applicable
   Details: This test only runs on Windows systems
