Add custom Firewall rules for Windows 10 devices
When you configure the Microsoft Defender Firewall as part of a profile that includes endpoint protection rules for Windows 10, you can configure custom rules for Firewalls. Custom rules let you expand on the pre-defined set of Firewall rules supported for Windows 10.
When you plan for profiles with custom Firewall rules, consider the following information, which could affect how you choose to group firewall rules in your profiles:
Each profile supports up to 150 firewall rules. When you use more than 150 rules, create additional profiles, each limited to 150 rules.
For each profile, if a single rule fails to apply, all rules in that profile are failed and none of the rules are applied to the device.
When a rule fails to apply, all rules in the profile are reported as failed. Intune cannot identify which individual rule failed.
The Firewall rules that Intune can manage are detailed in the Windows Firewall configuration service provider (CSP). To review the list of custom firewall settings for Windows 10 devices that Intune supports, see Custom Firewall rules.

The following table lists the services and their associated URLs that your network must be able to connect to. You should ensure that there are no firewall or network filtering rules that would deny access to these URLs, or you may need to create an allow rule specifically for them.
Service location | DNS record |
---|---|
Common URLs for all locations | x.cp.wd.microsoft.com cdn.x.cp.wd.microsoft.com eu-cdn.x.cp.wd.microsoft.com wu-cdn.x.cp.wd.microsoft.com officecdn-microsoft-com.akamaized.net crl.microsoft.com events.data.microsoft.com |

Microsoft Defender ATP can discover a proxy server by using the following discovery methods:
- Proxy auto-config (PAC)
- Web Proxy Auto-discovery Protocol (WPAD)
- Manual static proxy configuration
If a proxy or firewall is blocking anonymous traffic, make sure that anonymous traffic is permitted in the previously listed URLs.
Warning
Authenticated proxies are not supported. Ensure that only PAC, WPAD, or a static proxy is being used.
SSL inspection and intercepting proxies are also not supported for security reasons. Configure an exception for SSL inspection and your proxy server to directly pass through data from Microsoft Defender ATP for Mac to the relevant URLs without interception. Adding your interception certificate to the global store will not allow for interception.
To test that a connection is not blocked, open https://x.cp.wd.microsoft.com/api/report and https://cdn.x.cp.wd.microsoft.com/ping in a browser.
If you prefer the command line, you can also check the connection by running the following command in Terminal:
The output from this command should be similar to the following:
OK https://x.cp.wd.microsoft.com/api/report
OK https://cdn.x.cp.wd.microsoft.com/ping
Caution
We recommend that you keep System Integrity Protection (SIP) enabled on client machines. SIP is a built-in macOS security feature that prevents low-level tampering with the OS, and is enabled by default.
Once Microsoft Defender ATP is installed, connectivity can be validated by running the following command in Terminal:
