When setting up rules, you can also set up firewall exceptions. These exceptions allow
you to work around a particular rule that you may be setting up. Firewall exceptions can

These exceptions can be also set under the advanced firewall settings under the Connection
Security Rules link.
Exercise 7.3 will walk you through the steps needed to create a new inbound rule that

custom rule and then specify which authorized users and computers can connect using this
