Windows firewall blocks remote access to server on local machine

[radumg]

Expected Behavior

hitting the IP of host machine on port 1234 from a different machine, DynaServer should respond if running.

Actual Behavior

Windows firewall blocks any incoming connections. Disabling Windows Firewall allows DynaServer to be accessed externally.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Start DynaServer, note machine IP
2. go to that IP on port 1234 from different machine
3. nothing happens as windows firewall blocks requests

Specifications

- Dynamo : 2+
- Operating system : Win10
