Firewall Configuration
Solve
You are administering a Windows Server that hosts a critical application accessible within the internal network. The server is configured to use a static IP address. Your task is to ensure the server can communicate with a specific range of IP addresses on the internal network (192.168.10.0/24) while blocking all other inbound and outbound network traffic. The server also needs to be accessible via Remote Desktop for maintenance purposes. Given these requirements, which of the following configurations would best achieve this goal?
A: Configure Windows Firewall to allow inbound RDP traffic and outbound traffic to 192.168.10.0/24; block all other traffic.
            B: Set up a Network Security Group (NSG) to allow traffic from 192.168.10.0/24 and enable RDP access.
            C: Implement an inbound firewall rule to allow RDP and an outbound rule to allow traffic to 192.168.10.0/24.
            D: Create a VPN tunnel for the 192.168.10.0/24 subnet and configure RDP access through the VPN.
            E: Enable RDP in the firewall settings and use a third-party firewall to restrict network traffic.
            F: Disable the Windows Firewall and rely solely on router-based network security to manage traffic.
