How to open specific port numbers on a Windows system

Question

Recently, we bought a dedicated server with Windows server 2012 standard . we deployed applications on a dedicated server. Using the following URL, I can run the application from any system.

  ***.**.*.**:8080/ApplicationName 

To do this, I turned off Fire Wall .it worked fine. But the problem was that if I turn off Fire Wall any-one hack, so I want to turn on Fire Wall in the way I need to access my application from any system. So I think I need to open port number 8080 . But I do not know how to do this.

Answer 1

I switched to the following ControlPanel directory → System Security → Windows Firewall → Presets → inboundRules → New rule.

and added my port (8080) no.It works fine.

for my conformation, I checked the Fire wall settings, they are on . until it works.
