INetFwPolicy2::get_BlockAllInboundTraffic method (netfw.h)

Indicates whether the firewall should not allow inbound traffic.

This property is read/write.

Syntax

HRESULT get_BlockAllInboundTraffic(
  NET_FW_PROFILE_TYPE2 profileType,
  VARIANT_BOOL         *Block
);

Parameters

profileType

Block

Return value

None

Remarks

All interfaces are firewall-enabled. This means that all the exceptions (such as GloballyOpenPorts, Applications, or Services) which are specified in the profile are ignored and only locally-initiated traffic is allowed.

When you pass a profile type obtained from the CurrentProfileTypes property, make sure that you pass only one profile type to get_BlockAllInboundTraffic and put_BlockAllInboundTraffic. Note that get_CurrentProfileTypes can return multiple profiles.
