Windows Firewall inbound rules still blocks ports

firewallportwindows 7windows firewall

I applied inbound rules for port: 1935, as well as outbound.

When I check on canyouseeme.org, it says it (port 1935) times out.

When I completely turn off Windows 7's firewall, it works without a problem.

I can't always have that off or with my luck Freddy Kruger will slash my PC to bits.

Windows Firewall logs at %systemroot%\system32\LogFiles\Firewall\pfirewall.log show this:

2014-04-21 19:59:43 DROP TCP 107.20.89.142 10.0.0.2 52974 1935 60 S 2436636932 0 14600 – – – RECEIVE

I see the word "drop". I'm assuming that's why it's not connecting. So what's it mean and how do I fix this mess?

I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve but I would try Comodo firewall as it lets you be selective of what you allow to happen on your system. Remember if you do this to not have both windows firewall and comodo running at the same time.
