I got the following bit of code for a .REG file that adds "Add to Firewall" to the context menu on right clicking on a .EXE file. It simply creates an Outbound Rule in the windows firewall for that specific file you had selected instead of doing it manually. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\Add To Firewall] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\Add To Firewall\command] @="netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name=\"%1\" dir=out action=block program=\"%1\"" http://oi46.tinypic.com/2rgnxaf.jpg My problem is that the following

I need to open specific port for my application. I have tried using INetFwAuthorizedApplication rule per application for all ports. fwMgr.LocalPolicy.CurrentProfile.AuthorizedApplications.Add(app) Alternatively open one port for all appllications using INetFwOpenPort . firewallManager.LocalPolicy.CurrentProfile.GloballyOpenPorts.Add(port) Is there any way to programmatically open only single port per application programmatically?
