Are Windows Firewall inbound rule (domain), needed as well with (public) inbound rule?

[ral61]

I've had to re-install SL-viewers with other versions because of PC problems. The Windows Firewall is the first thing to manage after installing the "new" viewer.

Question: Are the Windows firewalls (inbound rule) "domain" needed as much as the "public" inbound rule to be enabled?

This is to cover the viewers-(plugin), (SL-Voice) and (application) of different versions also for functionality.

Windows 10 has little problem with SL Viewers. Install the viewer (whatever brand), launch it, Windows pops up a message asking if the program can have network access. Answer yes and move on.

If you are trying to set up the firewall before launching the viewer, you are just making work for yourself.

The old information on configuring firewalls for SL hasn't really changed.
