Firewall Blocks Access From Win 10 PC to Samba Shared Folders

Firewall prevents me from accessing via win 10 pc to my shared samba directory. I gave access to the Windows Explorer program. However, access is still blocked by the firewall. Is there a solution to this problem?

  • If you set the rule at the application level, the problem will be solved.

  • Samba is highly insecure. It has been exploit many times. Windows 10 will block samba by default. If you try to connect to a share it probably won't let you. The best thing is to use NFS shares not Netbios \ samba shares. I think the version needs to be v2 or something for it to work.. but NFS is more secure and you can avoid application bypass. NFS is very easy to use and most devices allow configuration server. It's built into windows by default just need to enable it in programs and features.
