Hello friends!, today i gonna show you how to release the ports of your computer to allow access from clients to a server/webserver installed on your machine.
First of all remember that open ports could be dangerous if you're using your personal computer as a host, so in this case the best choice is host your website on a vps, using this your personal files will be safe from any invasion/problem.
Generally the webserver ports (the ones that use the number 80) are automatically setup
Another important thing is: in some cases open the ports on windows defender will not be enought to allow your users to access your website/server because some networks ( when we talk about personal computers ) have a router/internet company that restrict this setting on the network system.... but it happens only in few cases ( based on my experiences ), so now you're ready to release those ports! :)
1) Open Microsoft Windows Defender with advanced security
2)Click on Input > create new rule
3)Select port and next
4)Type the port number on the field, and next
5)Click on allow connection, next, next
6)Put a name to identify the port and finish! (you can use the number of the port too, i do this :)) )
The process is done on the input section, now you have to do the same process on the output section!
This was our tutorial, hope that it helps you, if you have any question call me on discord: cxp6203 :)
