Allow: it allows all the programs without any pre-defined rules to access the network.

Block: Block all the programs that are not mentioned in Application predefined rules.

Ask: This one is little frustrating as you will receive a notification every time for permission, whenever Firewall comes across any program without predefined application rules.

Manage Firewall Policy Preference

·         Show notification about any newly created “Allow” rules. If you select this rule, you will receive frequent and potentially annoying issues.

·         Show notification about any newly created “Block” rules. This option is ticked by default.

·         Internet connection sharing mode. Allow all the trusted users to connect to internet through PC or troubleshoot problems with other device like printer that are connected to network through your PC.

·         Allow all the connections with Friends when in private mode.

Now the question arises what are Friends settings.

One can use Friends settings screen to list all the networks that you trust except for your current network. The listed networks are exempted from Firewall restrictions. This setting is only allowed in Private networks.
