3. You don't have to do anything until the script begins to ask you questions (see STEP 3 below). Here is just a step-by-step walkthrough of actions this script performs:

3.1. Saving current state of firewall into a backup file 

set "BackupDir=%~dp0firewall.bak"
if not exist "%BackupDir%" (
    echo == Creating backup directory ==
    echo %BackupDir%
    mkdir "%BackupDir%" || goto :exitWithError
)
 
if not exist "%BackupDir%\firewall.wfw" (
    echo == Saving current firewall configuration ==
    echo file: %BackupDir%\firewall.wfw
    netsh advfirewall export "%BackupDir%\firewall.wfw" || goto :exitWithError    
)

Output: 

== Creating backup directory ==
C:\bin\rigutils\windows_tuning\firewall.bak
 
== Saving current firewall configuration ==
file: C:\bin\rigutils\windows_tuning\firewall.bak\firewall.wfw
Ok.
 
For restoring of your original firewall configuration use the command:
  netsh advfirewall import C:\bin\rigutils\windows_tuning\firewall.bak\firewall.wfw
or the following command if you want restore default Windows settings:
  netsh advfirewall reset

STEP 3. Allow selected inbound connections

If you got the message Some error occurred! then you have to analyze output of the script and fix the problem by yourself before running the script again.
