can anyone please help me to find the ways of doing it ?

Answer 1

What you are describing is essentially a firewall rule.

If manually setting such a rule from the Windows Firewall in Control Panel is not what you want, you can do it programmatically with the API . Everything you can do manually to the firewall from the Control Panel can be done from the API.

The other alternative would be to implement a Winsock LSP . Looks like these APIs are deprecated (and for good reason)
