How to connect to Xbox Live without windows firewall?

[miIktoast]

It seems that I need windows firewall enabled to be able to be able to use xbox live servers,

Windows Firewall is required to establish a Teredo IPsec connection. Even if you use additional security software and firewalls, most of these will use Windows Firewall as a base. If for some reason your Windows Firewall has been disabled, you’ll have to enable it in order to use Xbox Live party chat and do multiplayer gaming.

obviously I dont want to use windows firewall along side simplewall. Since I know no other way to check, Ive tried brute force by allowing everything through SW to see if I could establish a connection, nothing worked until I enabled windows firewall.

Is there a solution to this or do I just have to live with enabling windows firewall any time I want to use xbox live?

You must whitelist the games, you must enable msft stuff in the settings, you may need to allow svchost. Games from MSFT store create a new harddiskvolume on each run. So you need to whitelist the game each time.

I'm encountering the same problem, I tried all of the above and it still doesnt work.

Send me your profile XML

Currently not using simplewall, so it would be a clean profile, could you send me one where Xbox Live works instead?

The settings app may still state there's no teredo access, but every game plays fine, achievements are still working... Voice chat and messaging works... But yes, if I disable simplewall, and don't enable windows firewall, then xbox live services gets no access.

The issue with msft store games, is they use virtual drives, so you have to whitelist them every time you launch them.

was your issue fixed? Here are my current settings and xbox live works fine, it's not recommended to whitelist svchost.exe, but using only a port rule I don't see any other non-set connections. Simplewall.zip

Hello, could you please re-upload your zip archive? seems like this one is corrupted. I'm getting the same problem as @miIktoast and i'd like to try your settings.
