QuickBooks is one of the basic tools that is very popular with small and medium-sized businesses. Intuit has equipped QuickBooks with many advanced features such as customer and inventory management, payroll, etc.

QuickBooks requires Internet access to communicate and perform various operations. However, an error message often appears indicating that the Windows firewall is blocking QuickBooks. This is a common error that can occur when Windows settings interfere with QB operations.

What Causes Firewall Block in Quickbooks?

QuickBooks communicates with an enterprise file via the database file manager in a multi-user configuration. This file manager uses the Internet to communicate with the file. Intuit does not support older versions of firewall and antivirus software. If your antivirus or firewall software is not updated, it prevents QuickBooks Desktop from using Internet services and the database file manager cannot communicate with the files. Therefore, to use the multi-user QuickBooks configuration, the user must configure the firewall on the desktop. read more
