Audiophile Optimizer Firewall Win Server 2019 core - advice plz

[latenz]

hello

I am using Win Server 2019 in Core-mode. Its a one-box solution, running Audiophile Optomizer with HQplayer and Roonserver and Fdelizer. running headless with microsoft remote desktop.

All running smothly, very stable with great sound.

now i need some advice with the Firewall. At AO installation i chose not to disable the windows defender.

Now when i look in the firewall-configuration

netsh advfirewall show allprofiles

the firewall is off.

I am not a windowsgeek...sorry for my stupid question, but i am worried about a windowsserver- all time running with no firewall. in the same home network with the music-nas and my other computers?

do i have to change...

 

thanks for helping

NO!

Firewall OFF in AO too

In my case, since I am using USB direct connection, main HQPlayer PC is off the internet - No connection. especially it is in WinServer 2019 Core Mode - No wireless too

If you are worried, install the PC after a separate Switch /Router connected to your ISP Broadband router/modem.

Then you should be safe. I dont think you will be doing Internet surfing on your Music playback PC Right??

 

Good Luck
