Windows Firewall is interfering with Battlelog and Battlefield 4

I've noticed that whenever windows firewall is enabled, I cannot see my ping in game or in battlelog. I have allowed battlelog, battlelog webhelper, battlefield 4 and Punkbuster through my firewall and the issue persists.

    1) by default windows firewall (WF) allow all outbound connections (if u don't change this settings) and block outbound connections only by rules, and block all inbound connections and allow inbound connections only by rules (u can easily check it by run wf.msc)

    1.1) so, usually, you don't need make allow rules for outbound connections, but u need make allow rules for inbound connections

     What to do:

    2.1) Check default WF setup in wf.msc

    2.2) u don't need make rules for *.dll files - delete it and delete/edit other ur rules for outbound connections)

    2.3) Check for block rules for outbound connections for ur programs (delete it if u need)

    2.4) make allow rules for inbound connections for ur programs (*.exe)

    2.5) Stop/Disable WF

    2.6) Run/enable WF

    Note: instead of steps 2.1-2.3 u can just reset WF settings to default

    Check ping...

    what ur OS, browser, Origin version?

    also run commandline as Admin and enter a command:

    REG EXPORT HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy C:\FP.reg.txt

    And give to me FP.reg.txt file from c:\. I will look on ur firewall rules

    Is there an easier way to make multiple rules?

    if u want WF, u'd setup it manually or rely on it requests/warning of blocking or allow some software

    no another way 👿

    Added Helper.exe after following your steps. Solved!
