Using Windows Firewall to block a specific IP on Windows 10

For some reason I'm having some site pestering my LogMeIn account with a bad login. It is consistently the same IP. Rather than relying upon LogMeIn's rudimentary login security I'd rather entirely block that IP entirely. How do I do that using Windows Firewall?

Answer

Open Windows Firewall with Advanced Security by running wf.msc. On the left, select Inbound Rules, then under the Action menu, choose New Rule.

• On the Rule Type page, choose Custom.


• On Program, choose "All programs."


• On Protocol and Ports, leave the default of Any.


• On Scope, select "These IP addresses" in the remote addresses section and add the problematic IP address in the Add dialog.


• On Action, choose "Block the connection."


• On Profile, leave the defaults of everything checked.


• Finally, on Name, give the rule a name and optionally a description.
