Goddamnit. Fuck you, Windows. X.x It's not Proton's fault. And, I can't figure out what the heck is blocking the port the bridge wants to use. On Linux, it's literally a one-liner. On windows, its a goddamn nightmare X.x

On Linux, it depends which firewall you use & which interface you use for it.

For example, if you use `ufw` you don't want to write rules to `nftables`, directly.

On Windows it's always the same one, except you install a third party firewall, which often is based on the internal Windows one, anyway.

For your specific situation, I recommend WFC - Windows Firewall Control.

It shows you, which app tries but doesn't get through & you can "unblock" it via its GUI. :)

I'll give it a shot!

On my VPS, I use UFW and on my home server I use nftables - so I kinda know both, but UFW is my prefered option - it is incredibly easy and, as the name implies, uncomplicated. Super solid!
