Defender Firewall and Python

Question

Python natively creates new folders within its own folder structure and recreates new python.exe files. When these new files are run, it requests access through the firewall. Is there a way to blanket a folder and subfolders to allow in the firewall without requesting access every time python recreates a new instance of itself?

Answer 1

I believe this permission request is being asked from the Python and you may set it do not ask for permission next time.

Answer 2

As shown below it is the firewall that keeps requesting. Each python.exe file is a new instance created within the same folder structure. Is there a way to blanket that file and or directory from requesting access to the firewall over and over?

Answer 3

You could only add application and not folder to the Windows Firewall.

You may try open the Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security and create a new rule and allow application with name python.exe and allow outbound and inbound connection (depending on your requirements) and see if it works.
