Before setting up Windows Firewall, make sure you have administrator rights.
- To go to Firewall settings, click Start, open the Control Panel, then click Windows Firewall (or press Win + R, type firewall.cpl, and click ОК. This method works for all Windows versions and will suit those users who don't have the Start button in their version of Windows.)
- Click Advanced Settings.
- In the left column, click Inbound Rules.
- In the right column, click New Rule.
- In the pop-up window, select the Port rule and click Next.
- Select the required protocol: TCP or UDP.
- In the Specific local ports field, enter the required ports. If there are several ports, separate them with a comma or specify the port range using a dash. The list of required ports for World of Warships can be found here. After you have entered all ports, click Next.
- Select Allow the connection and click Next.
- Select the desired connection profiles and click Next.
- Specify the name of the created rule and add a description, if necessary. Then click Finish to save the changes.
- Similarly, create Outbound Rules by specifying the same port ranges as described in steps 4–10.
