Windows Firewall
Wow its been a long time since I wrote something. My plan was to attempt to write a post every day!!! Seems like that idea has gone out of the window. Its amazing how time seems to fly by then its the summer months and time to do postings just do not seem to happen even with having my iPhone at hand every day.
Anyway the reason for posting, firewalls!!! Now I’ve been trying alot today to get firewalls to do what I want and stop blocking ntp traffic away from my windows machine. Firstly it seems odd to block the 123 ntp port why on earth would you do that with the firewall blocking incoming traffic maybe but not allowing UDP traffic out on 123 seems odd. Secondly why are firewalls all so different to configure and not just different software vendors different versions.
I’ve spent more time this morning trying to add a new rule to a firewall product that should be easier than it is. Now I know for a lot of people they probably should not be messing around in the area of firewalls but that shouldn’t mean that you make it almost impossible to find the correct dialog box to add a rule.
Rant over, at least its syncing with the time server now and all looks happy 
PS: One last thing I know I have a logo of windows firewall but it wasn’t windows firewall that was the problem software!
