Add 2 rules on for protocol: TCP
direction: both ways
local port: 3689
remote port: all ports
remote addresses: check the box for safe networks

local port: 5353
remote port: all ports
remote address: check box for safe networks.

By not checking “all networks” and instead checking “safe networks” this excludes the internet (unless you’ve defined it as safe, which is definitely unwise), which minimises the risk of attack to your PC .”
