Allow TCP 7680 (Windows Delivery Optimization). Replace <source> with the network/host that should reach it.

firewalld

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule family="ipv4" source address="<source>" port port="7680" protocol="tcp" accept'

Allow TCP 7680 (Windows Delivery Optimization) from <source>. Run 'firewall-cmd --reload' afterwards.

nftables

nft add rule inet filter input ip saddr <source> tcp dport 7680 accept

az network nsg rule create -g <resource-group> --nsg-name <nsg> -n Allow-windowsdeliveryoptimizat-7680 --priority 1000 --access Allow --direction Inbound --protocol TCP --source-address-prefixes <source> --destination-port-ranges 7680

Inbound rule for 7680 (Windows Delivery Optimization). Set <source> to a CIDR; lower priority number = higher precedence.

AWS Security Group

aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress --group-id <sg-id> --ip-permissions IpProtocol=tcp,FromPort=7680,ToPort=7680,IpRanges="[{CidrIp=<source-cidr>}]"

Inbound TCP 7680 (Windows Delivery Optimization). Replace <source-cidr> (e.g. 10.0.0.0/16).

Windows netsh

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Allow Windows Delivery Optimization 7680/TCP" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=7680 remoteip=<source>

Inbound TCP 7680 (Windows Delivery Optimization). Set remoteip to a host/subnet; 'any' is discouraged.

Windows PowerShell

New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Allow Windows Delivery Optimization 7680/TCP" -Direction Inbound -Action Allow -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 7680 -RemoteAddress <source>

Inbound TCP 7680 (Windows Delivery Optimization). Replace <source> with a host or subnet.

Rules are generated only for transports marked active for this port. They default to an inbound allow with an explicit source placeholder — never any. Review direction, scope, and rule precedence before applying in production.
