Explanation
You can enable or disable Windows Firewall: Allow Local Port Exceptions from gpedit.Allows administrators to use the Windows Firewall component in Control Panel to define a local port exceptions list. Windows Firewall uses two port exceptions lists; the other is defined by the “Windows Firewall: Define port exceptions” policy setting.
If you enable this policy setting, the Windows Firewall component in Control Panel allows administrators to define a local port exceptions list.
If you disable this policy setting, the Windows Firewall component in Control Panel does not allow administrators to define a local port exceptions list.
If you do not configure this policy setting, the ability of administrators to define a local port exceptions list depends on the configuration of the “Windows Firewall: Define port exceptions” policy setting. If that setting is not configured, administrators can define a local port exceptions list. If it is enabled or disabled, administrators cannot define a local port exceptions list.
