Add custom Firewall rules for Windows 10 devices

When you configure the Microsoft Defender Firewall as part of a profile that includes endpoint protection rules for Windows 10, you can configure custom rules for Firewalls. Custom rules let you expand on the pre-defined set of Firewall rules supported for Windows 10.

When you plan for profiles with custom Firewall rules, consider the following information, which could affect how you choose to group firewall rules in your profiles:

Each profile supports up to 150 firewall rules. When you use more than 150 rules, create additional profiles, each limited to 150 rules.
For each profile, if a single rule fails to apply, all rules in that profile are failed and none of the rules are applied to the device.
When a rule fails to apply, all rules in the profile are reported as failed. Intune cannot identify which individual rule failed.

The Firewall rules that Intune can manage are detailed in the Windows Firewall configuration service provider (CSP). To review the list of custom firewall settings for Windows 10 devices that Intune supports, see Custom Firewall rules.
