Description

I use Windows Firewall in highly restricted mode, preventing both inbound AND outbound connections unless explicitly allowed.

I've spent the last couple hours trying to get SyncThing via SyncTrazor and the CefSharp thing added to Windows Firewall outbound rules so that it can perform automatic updates and do its syncy magics.

Please create the necessary Windows Firewall Inbound & Outbound rules for me via push button. Thanks!

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to programmatically add Windows Firewall inbound and outbound rules using C# and the NetFwTypeLib or similar API. Look into existing SyncTrayzor codebase for firewall integration patterns.
