Today we’ll talk about how to disable the firewall. To begin with, I’ll tell you a little about what it is. This is a firewall that integrates with Windows. Its purpose is to protect our computer from various malicious intrusions, as well as from information leakage. Windows 7 received a much more reliable firewall from developers than its predecessor, Piggy.
Despite this, situations may arise when it is necessary to deactivate this service. So now you will learn how to disable the firewall. First, through the Start menu, go to your Control Panel to get to the firewall service window, where you can turn the firewall on or off. Here the icons will be different depending on what kind of "Control Panel" you have. If this is a classic option, then you will see the right icon immediately. In the case of displaying categories, select the "System and Security" section, where the firewall icon will be located.
When the settings window appears, go to the function responsible for enabling / disabling this service. That's all. Now you just have to disable the application in certain types of networks.

So, for comfortable work on the network under your own control it is better to turn off the firewall. You already know how to disable the firewall . This will avoid various access problems.
It is also necessary to disable this protection if software or antivirus software with a built-in firewall has been installed. And you need to do this for all networks.

If you correctly followed my recommendations, the protection should no longer work. But it’s also worth writing that some users prefer to disable the service itself. In such cases, absolutely all settings of the firewall are deactivated regardless of what settings have been set. Therefore, if you are interested in information on how to disable the firewall in this way, read on.
