Problems with the firewall

Question

I try to listen to music by spotify and since yesterday it has not been possible. I get an error message that says: Please modify your firewall to allow Spotify traffic (Error 101). How could I modify my firewall in Windows 10?

Hi JohnTsang.

f you have problems connecting Spotify to the internet, you can try modifying the Firewall to open the ports of exit to the application with the following steps:

1. Open the group policy management console in Windows Defender Firewall with advanced security.
2. In the navigation pane, click on Rules of entry.
3. Search "Spotify" in the list.
4. Double click on "Spotify" to see the Properties.
5. Click on the "Advanced" tab.
    
   There may be the option to specify whether the network is 'Home / Private' or 'Public'.
6. Choose 'Private'.
7. Click Ok.
